Subject : Reflections with motion blur problem.
Hello

Yesterday I just found out one of
our renders of a rolling and bouncing
"paint can" had a small problem in compositing,
as it showed a dark band that looked like the alpha channel
didn't fit the colour:

After some debugging I realized that this was not a problem
originated on my material, but on the reflections themselves combined
with motion blur.

Here is a render of a sphere spinning very fast with 100% reflectivity,
I notice 2 issues:

1 - The reflection is blurred, It shouldn't be at all!
2 - the dark band reappears

Does anyone have a solution for the problem?
I beleive this is a important issue and should be corrected.

Best regards

Here is a script for a scene showing the problem:
