Weird rendering of bright lights?

As an example, the only thing I did here was convert it to 8-bit jpg and "adjust" it with levels, curves and contrast ....🙁

Wow interesting to find such an old thread that exactly describes what I saw on some night time test shots with my new (old) M8...

For what it's worth, I only tried DNG through Lightroom 3, without doing anything strange to get this, using the 50mm Nokton. The effect also showed up on the in-camera preview.

I'll try some more things tonight, like varying ISO and DNG vs JPEG and let you know
