If the overall alignment is not symmetric, it is likely to introduced bad color transients on edges of brightly colored objects, so for example, the transitions between color bars would be bad. This could be seen particularly in the transition between the green and magenta bars as a noticeable color rather than going from green through gray to magenta. The tint control should still work, and should change the tint of both the large areas and the bad transients.
So, I think your problem likely is in the tint control area itself.
