So what causes the stripes?  They coincide with AEC/Phi2, but that  
doesn't
mean it causes it.  I don't see anything on the chip that could cause  
it,
so maybe it is interference on the board?

That seems to be caused by the different boards, not the different VIC
revision: the #CS signal is too early (relative to the data bus), which
means that when you write a colour reg, it first gets written with all
ones, getting the correct colour only later that same cycle.  Delaying
the #CS signal (adding a cap is enough) gets rid of the dots.
