This has been solved.
The screws in the saddles in the adjustomatic rosewood bridge. I suggested just replacing the two problematic saddles and screws, but if anyone had anything else to offer as a fix it would be welcome advice.
Sounds like it was a sympathetic resonance buzz around the saddle and string then.
You should be able to secure that saddle without replacing it though. Once it is in the right place for intonation try little loctite or similar on the screw to hold it. It will still come apart if you need it to oir even a bit of TPFE tape on the screw thread.. If the saddle is also loose you can pack it with a bit of foam or blutac underneath but it shouldn't rattle like that under tension so back to the store would be my choice. Packing the saddle will also push the thread on the screw up and help bind it.

This all makes sense. I will pass it on if he hasn't stopped in to read the thread.
