Have you taken the same photos with previous cameras, your example didn't show anything clear about the same conditions (bright light sources in or near the frame)

Mike, look at 2 and 3. They are the same light conditions--darkish indoor light with bright light at the left side of the frame.

Just because they had similar light doesn't mean they had the same light (was the same lens used at the same focal length?) one way i test lenses for flare is point light, we have 4 halogen bulbs in our kitchen, the are kind of like spot lights, so i test shoot at the bulbs at various positions in and outside the frame and you get different flare effects at different positions even outside the frame. again without 2 different cameras and the same lens and the same framing you can't blame the camera.

Personally and this is just my opinion but i think you're overreacting to a natural common issue with photography. I also think you should use lens hoods and in cases where a filter is involved remove the filter and take a second shot
