If you've compared all your credit reports and they're the same with the exception of inquiries, I'm out of ideas regarding your strange score.
As far as the link you provided, the 10% weighting called "New Credit" equates to Inquiries.

New credit shouldn't equal inquiry. You can get a hard pull (inquiry) and NOT be approved for New Credit. At least I thought over at the MyFico forums, New Credit was just that: New Account that gets reported on your credit bureau.
But perhaps they (FICO) are being obtuse/vague and its getting lumped into the same bucket (it's their score they can do what they want I suppose).
