A bit of repeating here. It's most probably a cosmic ray hit once again.
Most often we see cosmic rays as straight bright lines on the images taken by rovers. The actual CCD chip can also change the direction of the charged particle (cosmic ray) resulting in a squigly figure on the image. I think this is a likely explanation for the figure. I'll add an image that I took with an astronomical CCD camera. It shows a cosmic ray hit on the top right corner. The line isnt totally straight, showing that the ray can be deflected. The object in the image is the galaxy Messier 66.
