Jim, K9YC suggested some places to look that I hadn't thought
of. When I turned off the "Flatten" option in the waterfall
window, the noise bands went away. What I think is happening is
that the algorithm in wsjt-x that flattens the response for the
window sees the total lack of energy outside the K3's selected
band and boosts the levels of the signals and noise near it as
part of its compensation strategy.

I have a K3 which has been upgraded to have the Elecraft internal USB sound

I tried adjusting the DSP bandwidth when running FT8 to
eliminate a strong signal above the FT8 subband and noticed
that there was a strong noise bar on the water fall for about
400 Hz below the high cutoff. Further playing with the controls
showed a similar noise bar just above the low cutoff. Note that
these noise bars are in the requested pass band.
Has anyone else observed this noise? Does anyone have an explanation?
