This is not easy to answer without having all the details at hand. 
Exactly how you calibrate the measurements, exact retrieval settings 
etc. Some questions:

* What do you mean with good shape of the residual?

* Do you make a non-linear retrieval? With T or H2O you might need to 
iterate to find the exact solution.

* Do you include any POLYFIT? To include POLYFIT is quite standard, to 
reflect that your calibration newer is perfect. It is likely that the 
complete spectrum is wrong with roughly 1K just due to calibration issues.

It is a feature to avoid numerical problems if your quantities have very 
different values. If you use Qpack, this is activated automatically, 
when could be needed.

Bye,
