Thread resurrection, I realise, but I have found the same issue with an X-H1 and 16-55 f2.8.

I had been routinely using back button focusing and with the recently-acquired 16-55, was noticing inaccurate focus on a regular basis. Eventually noticed that the focus problems seem to abate when using AF-S and Shutter AF ON.

I have my rear command dial set for AF On and it focuses my 16-55 just fine in M mode (I use the shutter button otherwise) I don’t know why your 16-55 should behave differently from your other lenses in M mode.
