More load _reduces_ the ripple? That's very unusual.

But that mostly loads the +5V line.

I am wondering what on earth can generate a waveform of around 390Hz in that
supply. 

Have you checked that the +12V Startup supply is nice and smooth. I doubt that's
the problem, but it is worth eliminating it.
