Actually, a few colorcasts did have "optical" artifacts, though by and large they weren't nearly as commonplace (as you noted) as when B&W was king:

* One of WABC Channel 7 New York's Ikegami HK-312C cameras, as of 1983, had similar artifacts, only magenta-ish; that was on a 1983 Eyewitness News opening teaser that has since been taken off YouTube.
