One thing you didn't mention... Were you using OVF or EVF?
The metering and focusing CAN be more exact in cases like this by using EVF. You can also set the size of the focus and metering square in the EVF mode to quite a small spot. Try that on the same scene and you might have the answer.
Like others have stated, when I've had this problem, it has been a problem between my two ears. Most common, the ev dial, next most, aperture too wide or all the way open unintentionally.
I pretty much always use the auto ISO and the only times I haven't liked that is in very low light where I want faster than my set minimum shutter speed, so I just go manual on that shot.
Let us know if you work it out. I had to call Fuji support in USA one time and found they were really really really nice and helpful.
