This is correct. It is due to the phgysical positioning of the R,G,B
CCDs. This is called backtracking.

The problem is that it doesn't seem to be really reproducible. It seems to
vanish for all that reported it after messing around a bit with various

However nobody can tell later what exactly was done to solve the problem.

Seems like some sort of "escape from Bermuda-Triangle" problem ...
