This is weird, but I think it means something.
On one of my guitars, placing a capo on the neck makes it sound better -- fuller. It changes the tone, not just the pitch. I don't know if I can really describe it, but it tends to sound flat and flabby when played with open strings and more resonate or sustaining, even deeper, when capoed. It doesn't matter whether it's on the first fret or the fifth.
Why would this be? Does it mean the nut is deficient? Or does it mean my imagination is way too overactive? Anyone?
