Glitch on 4K footage in 1080p sequence

I have 4k footage shot on an alexa mini that plays fine in VLC or a sequence that matches the clip's settings. Once it's rendered in a 1080p DNxHD sequence a strange glitch appears over the vertical bars of a balcony railing during playback of each zoom shot. I'm using the 4K footage to zoom in further on some of the shots.

You can see a sample here: https://vimeo.com/366054599/ded9632c4d. The glitch is in the balcony railing to the left of center.

I was editing the footage in a DNxHD sequence on a windows machine with Premiere 2019, and now I'm finishing it on an iMac Pro with Premiere 2019. I also tried it in ProRes 4444 and 422 sequences. The same problem appears in all cases.

Any guidance would be much appreciated!

Footage:
Apple Pro Res 4444 / 3840 x 2160

Sequence:
DNX RGB 444 1080p 25 / square pixel

    Have you tried disabling GPU acceleration (under File - Project Settings - General). I know that's annoying, but I want to rule out a GPU issue.

    Did you left active "Use Maximun Render Quality" checkbox in Export Settings window when you exports? This option is for a best process in render when you are scaled clips or stills.

    The glitch appears whether or not this box is checked, and the glitch is also present during playback in the timeline.

    You need to activate it too in menu Sequence / Sequence Settings... to take effects in final render. Activate it and try again please.
