Here's an example:

RAW: (Default sharpening/noise reduction settings, Photoshop CS5)
(blues and vibrant greens seem to be the worst culprits)
If I crank up the noise reduction (luminance) it helps, but at sacrifice of clarity.

Luminance isn't noise reduction, it bring backs the detail in your highlights... that maybe why you're getting artifacting...
