Overexposure in low EV scenes

My girlfriend's D7100 started overexposing lower EV scenes by about 3 stops. I was stumped because higher EV scenes were properly exposed. In desperation I did a factory reset and the problem disappeared. Has anyone else experienced this?

I strongly suspect that the metering was set to "Spot". It does cause exactly this kind of behavior. And it does sometimes happen. It did happen to me after a shooting with flash when I had set it up to Spot to dis-engage the fill-in metering for flash, and forgot to set it back to Average.
