As I wrote before - I highly doubt there should be any timing difference between the two. I never saw anyone (before) saying that summing the two should also change their relation in time domain. When you decode/demodulate the two, you have to do it differently. It's the responsibility of the receiving end to do this correctly. Therefore, most probably the different delays in your equipment come from different signal paths. But to be sure I'll try to dig the Fluke out and put both signals on the scope.

My bet remains on the fact that your receiving equipment handles them differently and has better luck with composite.
