I'm using 1600 by 1200 (4:3) and I hadn't tried using the sonar man to ping distance before so I went to test it. I set up an attack on a stationary 'Old Composite Merchant' and closed in from a long way out. I was getting quite a big discrepancey between the sonar ranging and stadimeter when i measured from the top of the mast. Closer in, I lowered the stad a bit more, checked my distance with the sonar and the two finally started getting close to one another.

So for me, yes, there does appear to be something wrong here. I think Krupp is probably on the right track with mod but i remember someone saying that using the Observation scope gave far more accurate results than either the attack scope or the TBT.
