<<Also, at 1000 the shutter speed is uneven across the frame, showing 2 darker vertical bars near the left edge and 1 darker bar near the right edge.>>

I have seen this effect at 1000 & 500 with flouresecent lighting on an M2.  A possible culprit here?  Were you using daylight lighting?

A 2 stop difference at 1000 would put the shutter at 1/4000  second!  There must be another cause.

Try the same test outdoors using chrome.
