Purple Glitch of Death - C300 Mk II

I'm sure this has been discussed before but has anyone experienced this awful purple glitch with the C300 Mk II? (footage stills below)

 

I'm shooting a feature doc right now and it's constantly giving me trouble when shooting in backlight. Even rented another body and we're still having the same issue. I took it to canon and they said it was just normal and to avoid shooting in backlight. I do not believe this is acceptable for a camera. It's hideous and completely baked into the footage even in the log. Looking for any workarounds or advice before considering a different camera for the remainder of our shoot.

I get this glitch pretty often. It's most common during backlit situations, especially when talent is driving a car and operator is shooting from passenger seat. I had a very bad example of it happen last night shooting during sunset with talent against the last of the light in the sky. Two very pronounced purple bands across their body.

 

For this project im shooting 1920x1080 YCC 422 10bit, CLog2 : Cinema Gamut.

I've never experienced this on another camera. I owned a C100 mk1 and mk2 before the c300mk2 and neither of those cameras did this...
