Something wrong with your unit then. HD-XA2 has some of the best deinterlacing around. It passes all the problem tests on DVE and HQV discs (and problem DVDs as well). Perhaps you had it set at 1080i instead of 1080p, bypassing the Reon? That is the only thing I could think of. Give me some timecodes on the discs you saw this combing on, I bet it won't be there when I check

I've read about the DVDO iScan HD Video Processor and may give that a try to see if it gets rid of the Chroma Bug on the DMP-BD30. It says it has Auto CUE detections and elimates that problem. It's about $860 to spend just for that, but if it solves that problem then I guess it's worth it.
For what its worth, the company that makes the DVDO iScan is the same one that makes the scaling chips in the cheaper Toshiba progressive players (HD-A20/HD-A30/HD-A35). While the chips in those units are good, they are not as good as the Reon for problem material (and I've verified this myself as I have access to both).
