This issue looks more a moire problem caused by the image noise and the "resampling" done when applying the lens correction. Stacking several images in lighten/darken mode amplifies the effect.
If you apply strong noise reduction and some grain, the effect is diminished but not eliminated

If I recall correctly, the issue with DXO was banding due the vigneting component. It was jus concentrical circles, not this shapes
I just tried the noise reduction (100% for both color and luminance, with no detail). The bands were drastically reduced and in a different pattern. The only issue for me is I almost never use noise reduction, besides the default color noise reduction applied by automatically.

I think it's the old bug I posted here manifesting differently. It is not banding at 100% magnification right?

A different issue.. Mine is with ACR and Lr's lens profile corrections. It' only visible, unless you look really hard for it, once you stack two or more images in Photoshop layers and merge. If you zoom in they will show up before you merge the stacked images.
