XF60mm, aperture issue

Hi, new to the X System forums, not new to DPreview. I've been seriously loving my Fuji X machines, first the X100, which I have replaced with an X-pro1. I have a kit with three primes, the 18mm, 35mm and 60mm XF lenses.

Just today as I was shooting some further away subjects I mounted the 60mm, but quickly noticed there was a problem. At any aperture above f/3.6 everything is fine, but if I go wider, i.e., what should be f/3.2, the camera reports it's at f/6.4. Any wider and it jumps to P mode (the shutter dial is at A). The other lenses don't have this problem.

Is this a known issue? Does anyone know of a solution? And, before anyone asks, yes, I cleaned the lens' contacts.

Many thanks for your input!
