I find that with my Nikon LS30 the reds tend to oversaturate.  This *seems*
to be a feature of Vuescan also, I don't think it happened so readily with
Nikonscan.  The other colour I cannot get the scanner to reproduce is a
turquoise in some shots I took at the beach a couple of years ago.  It's sad
because the colour in the slide is awesome, but the scanner doesn't seem to
reproduce it at all.

Maybe in your case the "white balance" is shifting the colours?
