How wide is the garbage?  Only 8 pixels?  If yes, then it could be that
the $DD00 output lines on the CIA do not change exactly simultaneously
(1->2 could become 1->3->2 or 1->0->2), or they change while the video
chip is reading the data, changing the A14 and A15 during an "address
valid" phase.  I haven't experimented with this; I've always switched
video banks somewhere in the screen border.
