Ive noticed this mainly since ive started keeping it in a small greenhouse. On most days i open up one side of the "door" for air circulation, especially on breezy days. Most of the crispy tips is from me not acclimating it to the sun. Pics below.

I think you've answered your own question.  Looks like sun burn - direct sunlight is intensified in a greenhouse even this time of year.  I had similar issues with a greenhouse I had in Austin several years ago with no shade trees in the yard and no shade cloth.  Lesson learned.

I LOVE Hyophorbes, but they BURN terribly if not acclimated to brighter sun.  I have never seen this in any other genus of the palms that I grow!  One year, when mine went outside in a sheltered, northeastern position (in NJ) some time in late April, it burned to a crisp, was devastated. After they are acclimated (I let mine sit in deep shade for like a month), then they seem fine in full sun... WEIRD!
