Was the left of your acoustic guitar simply louder? I've thought this before but it was simply a product of the acoustics. If the left side of your array was pointing towards the sound hole and the right side to the bridge, it would stand to reason that there would be more sound to the left, correct?
This is most likely, exactly the reason for the variance. M-S for Acoustic is difficult for this very reason. Simply because most of us want the Mid mic to point at the sweet spot on the gtr, and this is usually not the sound hole. As a result, the Side image is shifted due to the offset.
