Common to both of your examples is a diffused bright white background. Is
this the same with the other "blue dot" shots that you have? If so, it
would be interesting to see if you could get a blue dot when using a UV
filter. Beyond that, I think you have "ironed down" the nature of the
problem and can avoid it in the future.
Best regards,
