The photo showing the defect doesn't tell us it's orientation relative to the 
film.  Is the long mark running lengthwise?  My first guess, since you've not 
scanned the film yet, is a processing problem such as stabilizer/final rinse 
marks.  Scanning the film will tell u if it's a print issue or film.  You need 
more info to make any real guesses.

My posting on APUG hasn't generated anything by way of a response, and as there 
isn't total overlap between pure-silver and APUG I thought I should post here.

and the image links:

As the density marks do not appear to be visible in all prints from the RF645 
negatives and do not occur with my Bronica SQ negatives, perhaps the hair which 
is within the lens generates the defect depending on the light direction.
