John, I'm thinking this is it.

I can't believe I didn't think of changing the string before making my post. But I did re-string, and I have the same issue, so that's not it.

Bruce, I have trouble with very fine measurements. The B string is longer than both the E and G, but I can't be sure it's 1.5mm longer.

Andy, I like your method and have watched this video before. Did not mitigate my problem, however.

Tom, I checked the nut slot and it is not high. So I will take the guitar to someone experienced (that's not me!) to get the compensation checked.
Thanks to all of you for your thoughts.
