What the hell is it? Anyone from apple out there listening? I'm not sure if its a coincidence, but the line looks like its just about the position where the Plus/SE screen would end if you superimposed it on the Mac II. It appears under all conditions, even at the start of boot up, so I would guess its a hardware design flaw of some kind. =Steve=
