Another thing I have noticed recently (but not thought of it much), when I walk my bike to/from my cube at work, I sense steering squirreliness, but I put that down to rubber tires on industrial carpet. Only noticed it recently however.

I bet this will be the winning suggestion. I will loosen the stem and put it back less tight, see if the carpet-squirm and the leaning goes away.
