Wow. There's something wrong.

You're doing just the opposite of my mantra (more pixels) when you, in effect, digitally zoom by cropping and prefer it to optical reach. I can't imagine what's going wrong, but I've never had a Canon TC that bad.

Have you tried micro adjusting the AF with the TC attached? Quite often you'll get a different micro adjustment, with and without your TC. The camera may be front or back-focusing with the TC and yet still be accurate without the TC. I'd check this out before sending anything off to Canon.
