Yes, I'm talking about backfocusing in the autofocus mode.. I never shoot in manual or it would take me twice as long to do a shoot :-)
I used to own the 10D and it was atrocious... Completely the worst camera I've ever owned. I tested the 20 D and it has the exact same problem but not as bad. There are a lot of people that say it's a matter of calibration etc... but that's BS. I've tried 2 20D's in the store and 2 of my friends with various L series and regular lenses. Each one focused consistently to the back of the subject.
The average person is probably happy especially if you're shooting at a decent depth of field like F11. But I processed film and focused 4x5 and 8x10 cameras as a PA for 2 years and can see the difference like night and day. An old employer of mine works for Canon and told me that they are aware of the problem.
But if you're having good luck in manual than more power to ya! It takes EXCELLENT quality digital pictures... my only complaint was the autofocus...
