Here is an example (full, so have bandwidth before clicking) http://www.brendemuehl.net/images/IMG16533.JPG Just a couple of pixels wide, but affecting some parts of the image.
and here is just the upper left corner where you can see the band (without having to load a monster image) http://www.brendemuehl.net/images/IMG16533if.jpg where you can see the vertical band. So I spent some time @ WorldOfUsedPhotography (a new, local used equipment shop) with one who knows DSLR tech inside and out. I was told that none of the cameras are immune to this type of interference. He has seen this before. It's just the nature of the technology. While his experience showed it to be the fluorescent lights in work areas, I also wonder if it might be things like milling equipment and other machines that generate a good quantity of hash. It *only* happened when I am in the work area, and *always* happened when I shoot out there. It is in the identical position on each image shot in that location. It is a question of electrical interference with the sensor.
