I'd have to disagree. That really looks like a video problem, not film. Film problems are more commonly vertical, because that's the direction film moves. A perfectly-horizontal (i.e. one scan line) flaw like that must be a telecine artifact.
The fact that these flaws appear on both German and French (and Spanish?) versions is almost certainly because they're from the same master tape.
