Middle position out of phase- what's wrong?

I recently bought a used Classic 50's tele, which has the original pickups replaced. The middle position, my bandmates and agree, sounds out of phase. I have studied the wiring diagram from Fender, and my ignorant eye doesn't see what is different. I can post pictures, but what should be different about the wiring that makes it out of phase? I do see there is what appears to be an extra ground wire coming out of the body between the pickup wires and and jack wire, which is soldered to a lug at the base of the switch.

On a related note, can someone point me to a sketch or schematic of how the lugs and switch positions relate? I hope I asked that right.
