Could it be understood as chromatic aberration?
As the result of linear distortion between light frequencies/ 
wavelengths?

Just a pragmatic guess.

Could also be barrel distortion ofcourse, which is typical for a wide  
angle.
As a result -even with a leveled camera etc.- straight lines are not  
straight.
Which could be liberally translated into 'linear distortion'.
