I discovered this and traced it to the method of interpolation used in the rotation. You need to use Bicubic Smoother and nothing else and preferably do it with Free Transform where you can conveniently choose your type of interpolation in the options bar. What I'm seeing are the large regular soft cross hatching that is the result of rotating with the wrong interpolation.
Secondly, how has your scanner been profiled and why are the blacks so red? How did you get from Scanner RGB to ProPhoto? Was that in your scanning software or in Ps? What is your current scanner input profile?
Well at least the skies aren't clipped anymore.
