That looks very much like a problem I had with my flatbed scanner a few
months ago -- I had foolishly poured some rubbing alcohol, or some sort of
cleaning solution onto the glass, and some had seeped past the edge.

When I took the scanner apart, I found that there was a white piece of
plasticy material where the head parks at the top when it is in standby.  I
assume that, before scanning, the scanning head scans this piece of white
plastic to calibrate/white balance itself.  Thus, the parts of the white
plastic that had gotten alcohol on them (thus being turned a more bluish
shade) were causing those parts of the CCD to see everything as being more
reddish than it should have been.

I would assume a similar piece of white material is in a film scanner, so if
it has turned a different color, this would be your culprit.
