It's very unusual. Maybe there is a light leak somewhere.

Never seen this before. Probably Douglas is right about a light leak.

There is a chance for light leaks where the 2 parts join together (some have resolved that with another construction). Specially where the colimator an lens tube enter the body and at the back near the round hole for the prism. (Think there is something about it on Sol'Ex site)

If that is the case, you can solve that by taping of (back electricians tape, or similar) the joints.

Could you post an image of a recorded frame?
