Just left of center out close(r) to the shoreline, I see what appears to be purple fringing or CA but I may not be able to see the trees for the forest.

Yes, there is often some purple fringing in the corners in high contrast areas around the corners with this lens when you zoom out to where the image circle just barely fills the full frame area. It's one of the quirks of this lens.

IOW, where is this rainbow flare?

OK, start at the second person from the left and go down. Once the rocks start to get dark, there's a tiny pretty diagonal rainbow.
