@sadie: DirectShowSource: Can be problematic, could explain any number of ills. I've seen strange ghosting with it sometimes. Try FFVideoSource?

EDIT: This might be a source filter issue. Comparing DirectShowSource to FFVideoSource on this vid, no other processing. FFVideoSource shows some horizontal lines - under the fountain and red mark in the first 4 or 5 frames, DirectShow has some flickering in that bright area but nothing so problematic. However, that was all. [DSS2 matches DirectShowSource, but it got the parity wrong and I had to use ConvertToYV12 - is there a DSS2 setting to set a preferred pixel format?]

Encoded both directly to MKV and via lossless, no other visual issues apart from that odd difference despite running several versions testing source accuracy. As expected, the most accurate to the source was:
Code:
QuickTGMC( Preset="Slower", SourceMatch=3, Lossless=2, Sharpness=0.1 )
EDIT2: Here's the result from the above line (x264 in MKV).

[I've reupped a cleaner version done with new v3.11]. I went for source accuracy. Everything was done with 10 main threads and 4 EdiThreads.
