Really cool :)

Sorry, I don't see what you mean by this.  The checker has an ambient value 
of 1, meaning full value or pure white (in standard rgb terms, it's 
255,255,255).  Nothing in the scene is brighter than this :)

Those ARE strange... are they reproducible?  That is, if you render that 
section again, do they appear again?

You could always try shifting either the position of the camera or the 
look_at point to a slightly different place.  Or change the aperture amount 
by some miniscule value, just to see if these changes fix things.
