I think throttling is a red herring. If throttling were to happen it would happen as soon as the rogue device were connected and the delay would not be present. I am about to go to a customer site with problems and test a different brand of router but this doesn't really solve my problem due to the lack of media streaming capability. Having essentially three routers in the mix is no go due to port forwarding complexity problems apart from just seemingly inherently "wrong". I think the "similar bad" situation with dual NAT could well be to do with the performance hit of dual NAT rather than recreating the exact same issue.

Even so - throttling usually takes you down to 1Mb/s or lower.
I have tried other brands of router in the past (although not with the latest telstra modems) which seemed to be stable enough.
Try again with the modems that are in the problem domain.
The problem here is that these routers do not service the internal LAN very well which is important when you have a lot of media streaming happening on the network.
Two routers? Modem to RouterX to MikroTik.
I also feel I'm caught between a rock and a hard place with Telstra whose official line is that as soon as the modem is in bridge mode, they don't support it.
The AusNOG mailing list might be a reasonable place to ask about this; at least to clarify whether it *should* work. Lots of ISP techs hang out there, they know what's what. But:
... you said earlier:
I have even tried running the modem non-bridged so that there is a dual NAT situation which gives me a very similar result.
And "similar" = "similar bad". This seems to suggest that it's nothing to do with bridge mode or DHCP, because in the dual NAT scenario the provider's CPE is fully handling your end of the link.
