I'd have to lean toward a manufacturing problem since it was only on the 400
and it was at the end of the rolls.  The only way to misload a Jobo is to
leave the center post out... and it would have fogged (I think, as I don't
have first hand experience on that one)  a whole lot more than the last 5 or
6 frames and it wouldn't have been even. 

The last frames of the roll are the hardest to fog....  Does the fogging
extend all the way to the tape on the spool.... is it fogged underneath
where the tape was? 
And lastly...... I hate to ask, was it gray market film? 
 
I'd send a sample to Kodak and see what they think...  Sal would probably
know who to contact, or your store should have a rep who services them..
at least you might get some replacement film out of the deal, depending on
the original source of the film
