Thats about what I got from the first scanner (Epson 1250U)  I 
had.  I took it back and got another which also displays this, 
but not nearly so obviously.  The unbalance you call pink is 
probably more of a magenta in terms of the real color, and I 
think at the moment its a combination of a poor calibration strip 
and a semi-cold lamp that didn't have time to adequately warm up, 
something that would effect the color of the ends of the lamp 
much more than the center 90% of it..

This is something that once you/they/we/Gerhard get the gamma and 
such tuned up, should be something that the software can deal 
with automaticly.

Its not quite that far along, best described as a 'work in 
progress'.  :-)
