That is pretty normal, it's very hard to control temperatures so precisely
that you don't get a few hundred nanovolts of seebeck voltage.

If you touch the short with your finger, you will change the temperature
enough that it registers clearly.

I mount the short, then hang a piece of cloth over the terminals and wait
about 15-30 minutes before I run ACAL 0

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
