One other question is what mode were you using (Matrix, Center-Weighted or spot) - I have found that matrix can give unusual readings at times with subjects with minor adjustment to the composition - the reason is that it is reading the entire frame and assigning some weight to each part - so the background and foreground can have a profound effect on the exposure - easily in the range you experienced. Personally, I almost always use Center-weighted and don't see those problems. Perhaps something to look in to.
