I know this effect which I assume to originate from light leakage, but
it is not specific to Agfa films.

I have used Agfa Vista (also sold under a generic brand name by a
drugstore chain, similar to e. g. Walgreen's) for many years and have
recently re-scanned many negatives with my Acer/Benq 2740s and VueScan,
without any problems.
