It could be from the factory toe out settings. Most cars use a slight toe in setting. It will make it turn into corners better but makes it a little more nervous in straight line conditions.

Happens to me too. But kinda used to it know it was annoying at first... You would think that Lexus would do something about it

My wife complains about this everytime she drives the car and I get pissed telling her to stop hating the Lexus. I've never really noticed.
