You guessed it -- radials sometimes (not all too uncommonly) are subject
to an internal defect.  This usually shows up when the tire is nearly
new, and results in higher rolling resistance in the affected tire.  You
found it the correct way, by rotating the tires & checking for differences.
I don't know exactly why this occurs in radials, but I suspect that it has
something to do with how sensitive radials are to careful manufacturing
techniques.  BTW, I hope you got a new tire.
