You lost me just around here ...when you say "the tension is loose enough that it's relatively easy to play", does that mean that you are using extra-light strings, or are you tuning down a couple of steps?
Maybe if you could give a measurement of the height of the string above the 12th fret it might clarify matters.
Reading Charles' meisterwerk on set-up procedure will certainly increase your understanding.
