I think that Dave did a trouble shooting video recently of his own uCurrent.
If I remember well, a (substitute) opamp had stability issues when loaded with cables and meter impedances and started oscillating.

So, even when meauring DC, check for weird stuff with your scope.

In that particular case, it was not really a problem of opamp choice, but bad circuit design.

Finally got back to this and concluded that the 3478 doesn't contribute much. The shift is caused by the 3455, but I think it's just hum pickup, as properly connecting the shield reduces the error to near zero.
