There you have it. Artifacts like these will sometimes appear in the shadow area of underexposed shots. You can sometimes get lucky with two stops under and end up with a nice image, but it's always a stretch. Of course, two stops under with color neg film returns nothing but grainy mush, so I guess we can't expect miracles from digital.
