The PUP magnetic pull to the strings with the largest gauge core wire and lowest tension can make the string vibrate incorrectly if it is too close to the string. It can be a function of how hard you hit the string and how long you let it ring. It can seem like a tuning problem.
If you install PUPs with stronger ceramic magnets and keep the final pickup height the same to the originals, you can run into this problem as I did once (replacing Lace Sensors with Fender Texas Specials). It was easily resolved once I realized what was going on.
