Hi,
I am not PRO.... not gone through all in detail but in my overview, I dont think there is a bug....!
I tried your scenes, in first scene use a good HDRI... all looks fine to me. I used PG HDRI.
In second scene... although some textures were missing. that roof top bright line is from your portal. if you disable... it goes fine. and in post you gave highlight compression 45, I dont think you should go for extra high numbers any where, as you use in first scene hdri exposure 6, in my experience... this cause also create artifacts and also check materials are proper, not any high number used....!
Thanks.

Thank you for your answer) Yes, if you disable the portals, the problem is solved, but then the noise becomes large. Therefore, this is not an option. Obviously this is some kind of bug in the Corona code. Developers, what do you think about this?
