There is probably nothing wrong with the switch itself, but you may have one pickup wired out of phase.
You might also try changing the hieght of one of the pickups slightly to see if it gets better.

When the same signal gets mixed together from different positions on the string all kinds of good and bad phase cancelations can happen. You get these more on a strat with adjacent pickups (which is why you can get that sweet quack sound), but it happens on a LP too.
