Chris,
I don't doubt it and it could be due to the difference in UV/IR cutoff wavelengths or CA induced by microlenses or something else. 36MP of D800 will show that defect more when viewed at 100%,
I had zero purple flares when D700 was used with f/3.6 reflector, no matter how strongly overexposed the bright stars were. Then again D700 is not every Nikon and we would never know for sure what is going on inside Nikon RAW files, because they are "pre-cooked" by Nikon and not purely RAW unlike Canon.
Cheers,
Alex
