Yes. Other than the sharpening being set too high there is always the
question of base density and relative base densities which can be  manually
set on most high end scanners. What the Minolta is doing is trying to keep
specular high lights, mapped to 0  form an already subtracted base + fag
density yet then erroneously mapping adjacent pixel densities at he Dmin.
I've seen this on most film scanners and may or may not be something you can
fix. In fact all CCD scanners have a jump in these zones as the dynamic
range is exceedingly great at the end points , where as PMT's great
advantage is the smooth response and dynamic headroom without clipping data.
