Grr, this is my third run in a row at %100 part failure rate.
It was almost impossible to get an angle where you could see the flaws past the glare off of the gloss finish but here it is:

I'm pretty much convinced that this is due to improper rinse after the acid bath just like you said. I literally
just realized that I've gotten kind of cheap/lazy and haven't been soaking the parts in distilled water in addition to spraying. Instead I've just been spraying them twice as hard with a garden sprayer full of DW thinking it would be good enough.
I really need to start making an etched-in-stone checklist of my process to avoid this sort of thing.
