This is where I frequently have found problems with sharpening. It's not the completely out of focus stuff that is a problem. For lack of a better term, partially unfocused areas give sharpening software grief. What buggers things up is when you have a partially unfocused background and you hit the entire image with USM. Quite often, I am finding that what was a nice background suddenly has double image (bokeh) simply because it wasn't out of focus enough and USM had enough to work with.
