Matthew,
You do not tell us how much the pitch raise was.
I find that a pitch raise of over 50 cents, will change the string =
level, so that the dampers may not mate with the new level of the =
strings, Add to that the higher tension will give the strings more =
energy in reserve, so that when struck with the hammer, the string may =
not stop its vibration as quickly.
Try this, on a piano that is way under pitch (50 cents or more,)  using =
a string level, find a note that IS LEVEL near as you can to the strike =
point. Now bring the note up to pitch and recheck the level of the =
strings.

    I did raise the dampers while I strip muted.

    However, here's something that you might actually have done to cause =
this.  If you don't raise the damper pedal when you put in your strip =
mute, you can compress the damper felt.   This could cause the problem.
