The objects should wrap around on the left side, just like in PCAE.

Yes, what you see on PCAE is exactly how the 2600 looks.  In this case, it is because I changed the background color too late in the scanline.  After moving the instructions that change the color to the beginning of the line, the black pixels are gone.
