Well, I have never owned a 238 specifically nor used an L-match, but 
going by my home brew Transmatch, an MFJ "Differential" tuner and two 
Johnson Matchboxes (both sizes), what you describe above is how all of 
mine operate on 75/80...

The effect you are noting is due to the low frequency, as much less 
angular rotation of the L and C controls is required on 20-15-10.
