Moire in Backlit Autumn Leaf Shot

So, in processing more of my pictures from my recent Western Maine trip, I discovered yesterday that one of my favorite shots had significant Moire issues in the brook water and in some areas of the yellow leaves in the trees. I had bracketed shots originally, and the most Moire was found in the most accurately exposed one. In the underexposed shot, fortunately, there was little enough that I was able to use the ACR Moire removal brush to get it outta there, as you'll see in the full shot I'm posting below, but I'll show what the moire looked like in the worst shot in 200% crops, after the original shot.

I've never had this problem before, because I never had a camera without a Moire filter, so it was a huge surprise to me and it looked creepy, like the Matrix had gone on the fritz in my world!

Anyone else had this problem with the K3II yet? Of course, there is an in-camera moire filter with three varying strengths one can turn on. So, now I will be checking shots like this, that could cause a moire issue to crop up, and if I see it, I will know to try out the in-camera filter!

The completed shot:

As other have mentioned the problem here is pixel shift. You can work around this pretty easily. The pixel shift actually takes 4 pictures and you can access each individually using silkypix. Take one of the individual shots and import it into photoshop. Then import the pixel shifted image. Now create a layer mask with the second image and remove the parts where you can see the artifacts.
