The Copybox wasn't quite in line with the lens and always seemed slightly askew when the negative was centered in the display. Earlier this week, I bought a pack of hot shoe levels and to my surprise:

Yes, I've seen this problem with the Manfrotto RC2 QR mounts before, many times. It's why I switched to Arca-Swiss QR mounts ages ago.
