Put the lens cover on and check the optics with a Cheshire collimating eyepiece, this should show any gross mis-alignment. As the front elements are pretty spherical to each other I wouldn't think they would be as sensitive to a small mis-aligment and give you the images you see....
Do you have a copy of Suiter's book " Star testing of Astronomical telescopes"? A really good reference.
