That really is a strange case of flare. I too own that lens and have never seen anything like it, and I often tend to shoot straight into lights at times. I have a shot of a long exposure of a ferris wheel at night with two spotlights - one aimed directly at the camera - clearly visible in the picture and it exhibits very little to no flare at all. I concur with the others that it must have been a lens hood issue.
