I've never had that prob but all my nalgene bottles are the old type. Try a denture cleaning tablet, fill the bottle drop in the tablet let set overnight then rinse in the morning, works great on my scummy army canteens.
I would send off an e-mail to MSR about your Dragonfly explaining the problems you are having they will probably send you a free service kit mayby even a new pump. From what I hear they are good like that.
