I might be misremembering this, but my understanding is that the bokeh is compromised on the X100 series if using the leaf shutter at high shutter speeds (which is why it shows as red in the display). Please someone correct me if I have that wrong!

Try activating the inbuilt ND filter and see if you get the same results. To my eyes, I prefer the bokeh & rendering on the X100V lens to that of its predeccesor.

Bingo!

This DP Review article explains the phenomenon.
