I'm experiencing a similar result with just-completed #4793. Power displayed at the bottom end of a 2-needle Armitron power meter seems to agree with expected better than the internal power reading. I've assumed that the problem is accumulated calibration errors between the K2 ADC and the external meter, but...??? Consistent with this is the displayed current which also reads high by about 15% above the high limit.
