Can't help directly, but perhaps this might be worth checking..
I've noticed that on some transparency films, I get a grain-like effect in
shadows when I use a black point other than zero (in Vuescan). I haven't yet
looked into exactly what is happening, but the 'noise' vanishes as soon as I
set bp to 0.
So it is obviously not CCD noise, and the last time I noticed it was on Provia
100F. This is on a 2700 dpi scanner, so I doubt it could be grain or aliasing..
