Sorry Bob, I was assuming Pentax. ;-) Don't know much about Leicas but a light leak can cause wierd things, different effects depending on light direction, etc. Also if the camera has a horizontal run shutter the "trailing" shutter curtain may be hesitating at the start of it's run. Pretty common on Pentax Spotmatics and some K Series cameras. I also have a FED (Leica clone) that does this after not being used for a while.
