Sigh, it is a bit grating. I (genuinely) appreciate your acknowledgement of that. Though, I didn't intend for the question to be "about" supercolumns.
It is possible I'm hitting an odd edge case though I'm having trouble reproducing the issue in a controlled environment since there seems to be a timing element to it, or at least it's not consistently happening. I haven't been able to reproduce it on a single node test cluster. I'm moving on to test a larger one now.
