I have been very silent on this topic until now. A bit short on time.
I also came across your point (2) so thought it might (at least) be a
radiosity/media problem. Then I thought that maybe the very thin value
of the pentagram cylinders might play a role, so I made the cylinder
radii much thicker while also setting intervals and samples to more
default values and playing with sample values, but while renders where
different, the (small) patches remained. I think that (3) might be an
important issue here, but point (1) is really baffling.
Good work, Kenneth!
