Hello,
I had a saddle similarly afflicted.
I have a leg shorter than the other and had at the time the saddle just a tiny bit too high.
Maybe a similar problem?

That's news to me, but may be I do and I don't know. I don't think it is too high though. But I kinda jump over the saddle after running a bit next to the bike a lot of times when I start the ride since my huge panniers doesn't let me get over the saddle easy some times.

You'll most likely find that when you turn the nut, the bolt is turning too.
Sometimes the bolt jams up in the hole of the bracket. If you turn the nut back a bit it may bring the saddle square.
If that doesn't work squirt some oil where the bolt and bracket meet up to make it looser.
What if you hold the bolt with some pliers and turn the nut.

Strange? If you have tightened the nut and the bolt is a little stuck it should twist the reverse direction. I have seen this once before for someone's Brooks but do not recall what the outcome was.
