#113488 - The culprit: Vref.
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Ok, the culprit has been identified: Apparently, the reference input current changes signficantly depending on whether the ADC is being calibrated or in continuous conversion mode. This caused Vref to drop to 2.41 V in continuous ADC conversion mode, which messes up the measurements.

Stabilizing Vref with a capacitor or buffering with an OpAmp should make things work correctly.
