Slight roll anomaly, looked like orangish flames from the engine.

And then it was gone. Damn. Space is hard.

I HATE staging. It is the root of all evil.

I don't use that word very often.

Well, SRBs get me going too.

Are you sure they did not buy the bolts holding the stages together from a
dodgy Russian vendor?

That thought occurred to you also, I see.
They had one or more Proton launches recently where the stages didn't
separate either.
