When he tries to mount her, he sometimes intentionally yanks a bit of fur out. Anybody seen this? What can I do?

Happens all the time with mine too looks like there's no real harm done to the doe..I guess some like their hair pulled
What can you do? Cover the doe with a towel minimizes damage but can interfere with breeding.
Generally though, some fur pulled is normal.
Bucks that actively DAMAGE does should not be bred into the line.

Many 4-legged animals. when mounting the female, grab the neck or shoulder area in order to help hold themselves in position. This is why expensive mares are covered with a blanket when they are being serviced with a "live cover" by a stallion.
as long as the rabbit buck doesnt actually tear the does skin, she probably doesnt even notice it herself.
