The shape, position, and intermittent appearance suggests a mirror-flipping
problem.

Remember the image is upside down in the camera.

A mirror problem seems about right. I remember the camera sounding
funky during the shot. Something sounded prolonged and it was
probably the mirror taking too long to flip up. Through the black
band, you can still see part of the image, suggesting that the
obstruction was only in the way for part of the exposure.

I tried to replicate it last night but couldn't get it to do it again

Yeah, but what happens if it starts happening again when you really,
REALLY want to get a good shot?

Well, a never-been-flaky camera can just happen to finally fail and do
so on that shot, too. I guess it's an odds game, where the odds of a
new camera breaking are less than the odds of an older camera breaking
-- in very generic theory, of course. I guess what I'll do is run
around the yard this weekend and take numerous shots and try to get a
"feel" for whether what I experienced was a glitch or whether it's
time to consider getting the camera serviced. I've taken over 10,000
shots with it and have taken it in all sorts of environments. I
should probably get a backup (besides my little P&S). But some shot
opportunities come only once. If your main camera fails, then, if
that was it and the shot is now gone, having a backup would be of no
use.

I like your Ticketmaster quote.
