I do own have a Zeiss Biogon 28mm f2.8, and do not have my/any 28mm f2.8 with focus scale at hand, but here are a few questions and some thoughts.
If I understand correctly, when you disregard the DOF scale stuff, and really focus at 2 meters on a subject, at 5 meters on a subject, or anywhere in between, you get out of whack results?
Or, you only get soft results when not focussing on something through the view finder, but when you try to guess the distance and set the distance via the focus scale things look soft?
You might get better results not using hyperfocal distance (regardless of which lens) and instead focus at infinity (with an appropriate aperture choice).
