Intestingly, the console that has no glitch has an AHCT latch, while the other has an LS.
I think this may comprove the low voltage theory, aren't the AHCT more tolerant to these kind of voltage differences??

That happens with the powerpak too. People replace the PPU latch IC to attain better powerpak compatibility. It boils down to the timing, different reasons for the same problem.
