The links for pic and schematic don't seem to be correct.
I picked up a modified 15K+15K schematic from the blog web page but haven't found the scope pic.

Keep in mind at a low scope timebase resolution (long timebase) (as per your previous scope pics), a brief spike on R13 may not show up in the scope display (too brief for the discrete per pixel display interval, but it could have charged C18 enough where it will linger longer and show up on the display. DSOs can present some vagaries like this. If you haven't done so, examine the traces at a higher timebase resolution (it could have been recorded in the sampling, just not being seen).
