Sounds like you're doing the right thing then re exposure.
The other possibility is the scanner trying to pull details out of shadows when there's nothing there - normally leads to quite flat scans with dirty shadows instead of blacks. You can sort this though in post by fiddling with exposure/shadows/blacks/contrast

Admittedly, it is worse with C200. But I've had it on Portra too, and I always over expose by a stop if not more. I wouldn't mind if the shadows fell to black (I've asked them to scan for highlights, no idea if they do) but often it's just brown mush. Always seems like everyone else posting here has rich deep blacks in their scans.
And yes, the over sharpening even when specifically requested not to is getting annoying. Will try Palm next time, or revert to doing my own scanning again
