I'd just like to add to the last comment: the reason is probablydue to the "Feather selection". I wont explain it further, try for yourself :) Reading this about a year after the comments were made… I’d just like to add to the last comment:

I dragged the right handle and applied the transform, and just like before both the right side and the left side (whose handle I never touched) were slightly distorted like seen above. Can you try it with a heavy glow on a black background, like above? It seems like the left-hand edge is always going to be messed up like that when using a scale becuase of how Photoshop messes with the transparencies of scaled edges ....

That includes shapes with glows, etc. I don't use Free Transform scale, but the "regular" one. I wish I could show you—I use the technique all the time myself and get no glitch.

Scaling (via Free Transform) is sub-pixel accurate, so it's hard to match it up perfectly ... and even when I do, I get errors on the glow. Notice on the image below, I never touched the left-hand side of the selection when I scaled it, yet the glow is a different strength: <img src="http://images.hanfordlemoore.com/photoshop-reply.jpg" alt="Photoshop reply" title="Photoshop reply"/> I threw it on a black background to make it easier to see the glitch in the glow.

I threw it on a black background to make it easier to see the glitch in the glow. The glitch is subtle, but it’s there.

Now scale it to the right, and it will snap to the section on the right. Much quicker and you don't need to worry about overshooting :) This is easier:
