I had the same results. It\'s not so much the noise, but the regular pattern to it, the vertical banding as if you are shooting through fine linen.
I think it might be the highlight tone priority, but I haven\'t done a controlled shoot to determine. I wrote to Canon about it. They said to send it in, but I\'m not doing it till I replicate the circumstances better.
ISO 200 may be a common ISO, as that\'s the lowest Highlight tone priority will go.
My guess that\'s a firmware upgrade away from getting fixed, even though that was supposed to be the case with firmware 1.07.
My problem looked exactly like that upper corner.
Part of the reason I like the 5DII is highlight protection, but maybe I\'ll have to do without a bit.
It can be spotted in the lower left of this photo, the vertical banding:
