Hi this is a really interesting problem.
Firstly I've never tackled this in an automated way, or know of anyone that has. Hopefully someone else could help out there.
In my experience it was caused by tap settings on parallel transformers that weren't co-ordinated (short summary). But my process was a manual one, and it did take a few days to get sorted out.
An automated approach that at least notifies where possible var circuits are would be helpful. Then a human could track it down and fix the problem.
I agree that it would be cool to see what the community comes up with. I'm willing to help out. What we'd need is some (realistic) saved cases set up that exhibit the problem. We could document what that looks like, and then begin writing some code based on the literature you've found.
