Skywalker, that does sound a bit strange. If I am not wrong, it should be working opposite as your described. The open clubface should favor a fade more and the closed face should favor the draw. That's what I thought, but I could be wrong.

If I dare suggest, it might be a result of previous habits of manipulating the clubhead at impact to get the desired impact. I know that's definitely my problem. For all the swing faults I have, I am still hitting very straight and accurate shots. That only tells me that if I correct something now, I will have to undo a corresponding act of manipulation in my current swing :P

You guys have given some very good tips regarding this topic! msklar - I don't think I will be putting any dots on my club, but just the little tip of trying to take the heel leading back is already going to help tonnes I'm sure! Thanks!
