Ok, so this is very very interesting- this issue appears to only occur when using the mechanical shutter. When using the ES the noise is totally clean and even, as it should be. See

Hmm, my example was likely with the ES. Will post an MS lens cap example later today.

Thank you, I appreciate that

These are both with the X-T20 at ISO 12800 pushed five stops AND with the Blacks at +100 in Lightroom. I also get a purple glow along the bottom only with the mechanical shutter (really not sure why). I can say though, having used this sensor for a number of years in many very low light situations, that it has never been a problem in any real world image making.

Mechanical Shutter, ISO 12,800 pushed +5 stops (ISO 409,600) AND with the Blacks at +100

Electronic Shutter, ISO 12,800 pushed +5 stops (ISO 409,600) AND with the Blacks at +100

...and with a couple of graduated filter tweaks your ISO 409,600 shots can still look awesome. Apparently the MS doesn't quite manage perfectly uniform exposure
