Hmmm.  You are correct and obviously more sensitive to it than I am. 
Looked at that critically, the 300/4.5 also exhibits some purple 
fringing in the same (very high contrast) areas.  I wonder is this lens 
or 5D sensor?  Anyhow, after printing your crop at 300 ppi (2 x 1.4" 
image, which would make a full image print of approx. 10x16) I can no 
longer see the fringe.  But if I ress it up to twice the size at 300 ppi 
(20x32" print size I can see it.  But I first have to be trained to look 
for it.  :-)
