Before one can start blaming the cause on the body, how about providing lens details?
Lens flare doesn't yield hard horizontal edges. Brett said he tried the same lenses on his D600 and it didn't have the issue.

Did you watch the video?
Lens flare doesn't go in a completely straight line.

I really doubt that lens flare is the culprit here as some users have tested it with 24-70 as well. I highly doubt that people who have tested them have same lenses and same light sources when they tested them.
It seems Nikon has already quietly fixed the flaws that had caused the issue in the production line when the issue was first discovered and reported to them just a few days after D750 got into shooters' hands. Nikon believes the best way to handle it is to just keep its mouth shot so it can quitely go away. At any rate, Nikon can always dump those returned but fixed D750 bodies as refurbs at their wholesale price and still can come out unscathed financially. Look, kids, we just trashed our beloved brand again.
I tried it my copy using a similar overhead light source and 50G f/1.4 @ f/1.4 through f/5.6 and couldn't reproduce the issue. Brett/Francisco - how long ago did you buy your body and what's the lower digits on the serial number? I bought mine about 3 weeks ago.

I got mine from Amazon on Oct. 1, the serial is 30044XX

Thanks. Mine is 30051XX. How hard is it to reproduce using the procedure in your video? I tried for about 10 minutes using all types of angles and distances to the light, moving the light source in and out of the top and left third of the frame.
It was very easy with the 35/1.8G FX, 50/1.8G, and 85/1.8G. I couldn't get it to happen with the Sigma 150 non-OS, and I could at the wide end of the 24-85 but not the long end. All were tested without lens hoods.
ThanskBrett! This is kind of information will help narrow down the problem.

Um yes it does, you just need a bit more experience with lens flare. Focal length, light axis and f-stop all play a role and it isn't the same for each lens.
Even though Canon had almost the exact same issue (assuming light leak or similar) with their $3,500 made in Japan 5D III, I predict this will be made into a much larger issue because it's a Nikon and made in Thailand. Don't worry, if it becomes a widespread issue, we'll get our free piece of black tape too .
Someone at Nikonrumors (readers' comments section) compared focusing screens of D800 and D750 and suspected the visible shining edge of D750 focusing screen as possible cause:

The issue doesn't occur using the same lens and lighting conditions but with a different model body(D4 or D600). Also someone on dpreview just reproduced the issue without a lens even attached (here).
