What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

The raindrop effect on Samus' visor is not rendering correctly, where some droplets will display a portion of a black bar on the left side.
These droplets work by displaying a flipped-portion of what's drawn on screen relative to its position, this is usually noticeable by looking at droplets close to any geometry that contrasts the sky.

Issue will occur in both Direct3D 11 and OpenGL graphical backends.
Issue would occur on multiple different devices using Nvidia GTX or Intel HD integrated graphics.
Issue would occur regardless of multiple different graphic settings, including scaled EFB, EFB copies, XFB copies, internal resolution, ubershaders, texture cache accuracy, per-pixel lighting, fog, etc.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

At beginning of game in Tallon Overworld's landing site, the landing area has rainfall.
Walking forward or looking skyward will generate raindrop effects on the visor.
Raindrops will not generate when standing still, standing in water, under cover, or when looking at the ground.

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

Dolphin 5.0-9213

Is the issue present in the latest stable version?

Yes, also occurs in stable 5.0 release from mid-2016.

If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer

See attached screenshots from multiple devices.
Two FIFO recordings are attached in a single 7zip archive, one with Samus staring at the sky (raindrops), one with Samus submerged in water (no raindrops).
When recording the FIFO logs for the raindrops issue, the following warnings would repeat in alternating order until ignored:

FifoRecorder: Expected command to be 211 bytes long, we were given 323 bytes
FifoRecorder: Expected command to be 107 bytes long, we were given 163 bytes

Not ignoring these warnings would result in an excessively large log.
No such recording issue occurred when raindrops were not being rendered.
