Even a slight leak before the O2 sensor would cause a false reading. All that air flowing by would be sucking more in from the outside. I had a similar problem on a completely different vehicle where the there was a leak before the O2 sensor and it caused some very poor driveability. I am not saying that is is for sure the problem but even the slightest exhaust leak before the O2 sensor can and probably will cause problems.
