The two things that occur to me with "track in does not equal track out" issues are mono-compatibility and comb-filtering.
My first question would be are you recording to two mono tracks or one stereo track? If two mono tracks, are you panning the channels hard left and right after recording? It's possible you've got something going on in your preset that's seriously incompatible in mono so that when you play back, you're getting bad comb filtering. Also, as pointed out by aziz, Cliff recently dropped the USB audio in/through level by 6db to prevent overloading when playing along with previously recorded tracks. It's fairly well documented that listening level effects the perceived "goodness" of an audio source.
Another thing that bugs me is your comment about latency. I use the Axe II (non-XL) as my audio interface in Logic and I have no tone loss, but there's also no latency. Everything lines up nice and clean with no post-recording sliding tracks around. The fact that you're having that problem makes me wonder if you've got some other problem going on giving you the latency issue, which is also spawning the playback issues.
Are you using the Axe AND the onboard audio as an aggregate device? I'm wondering if Logic is trying to compensate for the onboard audio and that's giving the Axe a late audio stream?
lj045637 - did you previously have a different audio device that you recorded with? It occurs to me that I've only used the Axe with Logic Pro X, and I'm wondering if perhaps a previous audio driver has left something amiss in Logic that could be causing it? Perhaps try uninstalling the old audio device if that were the case?
Rest assured, this behavior is NOT normal. Since the first time I plugged in the Axe, the tone while recording has exactly matched the recorded tone.
