I have a suspicion that it might be another case of front/back focus, given that they describe the problem looking like the image is out of focus. At 2.8, it would take very little in the way of mis-focus for a problem to show up. They need to verify whether or not the lens has a focus point somewhere other than where they think it is before blaming it on some QC issue. It might be the camera or the operator.
