Would this be an example of bad bokeh? Or would it be called something else? 

That circular swirling motion/pattern in the background around the subject. It happens 
everytime I use my cheap Vivitar 80-200 zoom set at 200mm. I haven't noticed it at 
80mm and I haven't really tested it at other focal lengths.

I find it distinctly weird and I don't like it.

But maybe it's called something else.
