I seriously doubt the black plastic of the back door has any
significant reflective properties....
One of the most transparant films on this planet is Kodak HIE 
infrared....no antihalation layer whatsoever, every dimple on your 
pressure plate will show up....but no problems in the 202....:-))

Horizontal, slightly above the perforation?
That is most likely a rough edge on the film rails....nothing a piece 
of very smooth sanding paper won't cure....:-))
Additional proof of this problem are yellow particles/dust in your
camera when you open it after finishing a roll....
