Problem:

This is a plot along the overscan region showing the same ramping structure. The magnitude of the variation in bias levels is small - 2.5% which is why it only shows up in short exposure images with little signal.

Fix:

This structure will normally disappear during the processing (overscan subtraction) of the image, as long as one produces a higher order fit for the overscan region.
