I don’t know that there are any likely causes for a calibrated power meter to be way off, so I’d first look to the testing protocol for answers. How are you executing the FTP test? What kind of peak wattage are you seeing during the test? Does wattage jump all over the place in huge gaps while you’re testing?
If you can upload an FTP test file, we can take a look for irregularities.
