I mentioned the same impression in this thread. I felt the same thing, intitially. After using the tires for an extended period, I got used to it. I don't think it was really "vagueness." I think it's that the tires are so much more rigid than normal tires that they feel like a narrower tire on corners. My impression is that 32 Marathon Plus tires corner more like standard 28's.
