+1 @ bit Dan ... also wondering about the other ambient source lighting being gobo'd / blocked some how (i.e. window light) other than the flash. Notice the lower 1/3 of the door has a slightly diagonal version of the same (much less prominent). Also, there is a double shadow left of the speaker (assuming two windows ). The ambient lighting (note window level in other room) level makes me wonder about the relationship of falloff coming from the windows.
Reshoot, turn camera 90 (or 180) degree portrait orientation. Internal camera induced issues will follow the rotation. Non-camera axis lighting will not.
I'd do more testing to try & recreate the issue or deconstruct the cause of this one before I'd assume it was the camera. This one does "emulate" the problem, but it could be other factors involved why you have the "banding".
Also, it kind of reminds me of a shutter speed / sync speed issue, it can cause a similar effect, but where the ambient is sufficient exposure, it wouldn't be as prominent. The door is in the other room, so it is farther from your light source (i.e. window). The left door frame doesn't seem to exhibit it like the door itself does, but it is in the same room as the windows.
Taking a closer look at it, it looks like I can see the form or you shooting in the reflection of the door, with the flash going off at the top. The balance between the shadow behind the speaker and the non-shadowed area suggests that ambient and flash levels were pretty close. Also, if that is your form (see space between legs), then the ambient light is sufficient to create a slight back lighting ... just another point at how much ambient influence you have @ multiple light sources. Note also, the lower left corner of the door and the multiple diff shadows being cast onto the floor.
Curious at shooting / flash position and exif data?
Took a rough stab at it, mostly a combination of levels/masks, dodge/burn and heal brush with blur/feather. Could be better, but you get the gist @ feasibility.
