It shouldn't be that way. MS 'should' be completely in phase and
fully mono compatible. A couple of things to consider:
Are you positive you fed the center mic into the 'left' channel of
the MS plugin, and the figure-8 to the 'right' side? I'm not sure
doing it the other way would cause the phase issues you're seeing,
but they do have to be set correctly.
Are you sure your mic capsules were coincedent? For MS to work
properly, the capsules need to be aligned in the vertical plane.
These are two possibilities.
