I had similar issues with a batch of Ektascan I bought 3-5 years ago. I think it’s a quality control issue. It’s still a great film to learn with. As a former chemist, Pyrocat HD, uses sodium or potassium carbonate to get pH high enough for development. Acid stop bath would be more likely than plain water stop bath to create issues in terms of converting the carbonate to carbon dioxide gas and little bubbles. But, I really doubt that’s a real issue. And I really doubt that’s at the root of the issue.
Please post a review of the camera, I saw that and really wanted one! I’m wondering if it’s as nice as the ads.
