i've run into two bikes that had improper fork dropout depth... symptoms were exactly what you've described... i rat-tail filed the dropout a bit on the "close side".... testing frequently to make sure i didn't go too far... done.
it won't take much filing, either, since the misalignment is only 2mm at the tire... about .010" to .020" should do it...
