A dark stripe does not indicate quadrature distortion, only reduced bandwidth. Quadrature distortion would show as a residual color during the transition, with the edges of the green and magenta bars discolored one way or another.
I haven't a scanner, but looking at the RCA T-6 Service Notes for the CTC5 Deluxe, the chroma bandpass is from 2.28MHz to 4.1MHz. This means that the lower vestige is 3.58-2.28=1.3MHz. The CTC5 Deluxe employs two stages of bandpass amplification which I would imagine furnishes the extra gain for the wider bandpass. CTC7 onward had only one bandpass amplifier stage.

And I stand corrected. The band between the green and magenta was not black but an orangey hue if I recall. But I agree: it would not be black.

I'll post the CTC5 notes tomorrow.
