Oil? Overtuned raise?
When it comes back flat, is the finger against the stop bar?

Your guage of string also makes a huge difference. Put a bigger one on, or smaller one, experiment, but this could help.

Another stupid question: is this a new string or a veteran wire? Old strings can turn delightfully random.
