I cannot add a lot to Keith's excellent synopsis but do want to emphasize the importance of this part of his post. Mark Duginske, writing in "The Band Saw Handbook" (highly recommended, belongs on every BS owner's reference shelf), says that most band saws guides will have this problem. My Grizzly certainly does. Like Keith, I check the guides every time I alter the cutting height by any significant amount.
Sarge has mentioned more than once, in various threads, that a band saw is a finicky beast, and he's right. Constantly checking the setup is just part of the drill. Those who set their guides at one cutting height and never thought to check it at others might be surprised at how much variation they'll likely find over the full vertical travel of the guide post.
