You and I seem to be accumulating much the same sort of lenses. I don't have the Super-Multi-Coated version of the 35 but I have several others in that series. I do have the earlier 1:3.5/35 Super Tak. It doesn't have the issue you describe - I wonder if that was a problem more or less confined to the Super-Multi-Coated version.
