I've seen pictures from the recent night launch that seem to show
something strange in the SRB exhust. I'm pretty sure it's not a lens
internal reflection. Does anybody know what these are?

It is in your camera. Possibly from a UV filter or Circular Polarizer
on the front? I've seen mirrors like that when I forgot to remove the
UV.

And the 2.8.2010 launch was STS-130, not 180.
