I bet the steel QR solves the problem... aluminum QR nuts are suspect for slippage. In addition to going to steel, maybe take it in to a shop and have them align the dropouts or borrow a Park FFG-2 alignment tool- if they are skewed a bit it certainly isn't helping the situation. Anyway I hope you figure it out.
