Problem with my scope? Reading positive versus negative average DC voltages.

This is not adding up for me.  Are the ground clips of both scope probes connected to the PSU GND connection?  If not, can you quickly draw out a schematic of exactly how you have everything connected?

Yes. Scopes are accurate horizontally, not vertically.

I expect them to be linear but vertical numbers on 'scopes are a ballpark figure.

Cough.

+ 3% vertical accuracy has been industry standard for decades but now improved near 10x with the advent of cheap 12bit DSO's.

Spec from the datasheet for the DSO OP uses is:
DC vertical gain accuracy:
+3% full scale (≥ 10 mV/div)
+4% full scale (< 10 mV/div)

What's the spec for crosstalk between channels?

Dunno, a while ago closed the datasheet tab.
Easy to find though.....

Not THAT easy...

I found one and it isn't specified.

I suspect that's what this might be though.
