The STEREO HI2 optical train is a bit unusual because of the unique mission requirements, but this is what its lens flares look like. You have to compare apples to apples, against other HI2 images. That is why I checked other images when Venus was at the same angular separation from the sun, this flare always appears then, but that does not correspond to any particular location in space, just relative to Venus and the sun.
