Fine shooting, Harvey, thank you very much.
Those are some distance shots and yet they appear nicely sharp and clear.
A good responsive AF is a great news.
Vignetting and high contrast border ghosting is a concern, and that is why Fred pays you big bucks so that you may diagnose those for us.
I do not recall seeing either with my 100-400 Mark 1, although I normally wouldn't pay much attention to some vignetting, but ghosting I wouldn't miss.

Okay..... I think I stumbled upon what might be causing the 'ghosting'. I normally shoot with 'Neutral' picture style and in-camera sharpening set at 2. I found my camera set for 'Standard' picture style and the contrast looks like it is much higher in that style. Also, in-camera sharpening was enabled. I think the 'ghosting' I'm seeing is actually some residual halo effect from that setting. I'm not sure how it ended up set for 'Standard' style, but I am going to set it back to 'Neutral' which works best for my work flow.
As for the vignetting, it is what it is. It can be corrected in post but it's a pain if there is a large number of images.
