Good question.... I've owned the guitar for 2 weeks.
The current tuners have always been "creaky" when I initially turn them and not easy to turn to pitch (hard to get precise tune). Also, the strings do not stay in tune as nice as my Taylor. The 2 guitars live right next too each other in the room and I usually keep them in cases. I can tune both... put them down for 1 hour. Come back and the Martin is slightly off and Taylor is spot on..
So I took a couple tuners off (A and G) the guitar and check them... they were still stiff... But not terrible... But when fully stringed they do not act well. Also, I thought maybe I did not string it up correctly... so I changed strings too . But that did not remedy.
Maybe you are right and something else is off... Maybe it's the nut?
