Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. Ed answered the question I was 
looking for, when he said, "I have noticed that the characteristic of any 
given temperament seems the same on various pianos, but the level of 
brilliance can change how strongly tempered the remote keys feel." I 
concluded, perhaps wrongly, that a difference in tone can make a temperament 
sound a little different on different instruments. After all, we use 
different temperaments on different pianos. So why wouldn't an HT be 
different, even if it is superimposed on the temperament of the piano? 

For what it's worth, this is how we remedied the situation. I tuned the piano 
to the Jousse, as per Owen's instructions, with a slight modification as per 
another tuner. Then we went through each interval, as per Jousse' 1832 
bearing plan number one, and adjusted a few intervals as per the piano 
professors instructions, "tweaking" them just enough to make them sound 
correct for the Boston. I then recorded the new temperament in my SATIII, and 
redid the whole piano.
