I think another user on another forum reported something similar in this situation....and this is my opinion of what was happening....
When you are lifting black detail BEYOND black you're going to see these kinds of issues. Because of the RAW files and the very "honest" way it works you get everything that the sensor captures, including noise and these kinds of faults below the point where any shadow detail is captured.
It's up to you in the grade to decide where to *clip* these blacks. If you don't, you might be able to eke a bit more dynamic range out of the camera, but it will be with the chance of having issues like this.
It sounds like you're seeing it when you have a shot where black is lifted beyond where you would expect to see detail anyway. You're hitting the DR limit of the camera.
I'm on an iPad and not looking at your shots so I am also guessing from what you're describing.
