I've been looking at them and I found something strange: in the top left quarter of the image there's an artifact. It's a lamp I have in my studio, I thought it was a problem with the scanner or something so I dug out the slide and there it is, on the film. My question is: How could this be possible?

If the lamp is in the film, then it couldn't be light leak reflected onto the flatbed scanner glass surface as scan is being made. The only other thing I can think of now is that after exposing the film and before removing from the camera... your camera has a slow light leak (through lens?) which exposed the lamp while the camera sat on a surface somewhere before you completely rewound film and removed it.
