FILTER? Don't tell me you used a UV filter with a zoom lens?!? This is a good formula for flare creation. The zoom has lots of reflective surfaces, and a filter adds 2 more. I'd like to use this as justification for switching to an R8 or R9 system but first try duplicating the flare with the (unmentionable) non-Leica camera, complete with filter, then take th filter off and see if the results are different. Then try the same thing with a prime (non-zoom) lens and see if you see a difference. Typically Leica zooms are more flare-resistant than N or C zooms but before you drop a big wad of cash on a system swap, see if you can improve the results to an acceptable (to you) level by removing the UV filter.
