Thanks for taking the time to analyze this. As you can see in the 400% blow-up of a crop of the data, there is a clear zipper pattern visible, which in turn causes the StarTools preview to exhibit an anomalous pattern as well (e.g. the feature I highlighted above is doing its job and rightfully drew...
