Thank you Karl,

I updated to the latest R6 firmware last month before the trip, but did not find updates for the lens. I previously did not have high enough volume to notice any issues, so it may or may not be as a result of the firmware.

I did shoot several hundred shots with and without IS on the tripod. No issues detected on the tripod, with exposure times ranging from 1/200 to 30 seconds. 
I did not shoot handheld, without IS. Even with this issue, IS provides more usable shots overall, than without. Once this issue was detected, I started shooting the same shot two or more times, ensuring I would always get a shot.

It does look like something like IBIS or IS is kicking in synchronously but slightly delayed with the shutter such that it only affects part of the frame.

First, have you updated your camera to the latest firmware? There have been some known issues with earlier firmware and various lenses.

Second, have you tried shooting similar shots with IBIS/IS off? Also, have you tried with IBIS/IS On but on a tripod.

It does look like something is going wrong, but it would be good to eliminate the "easy to fix issues even if they are unlikely to solve the problem.
