Overclocking the CPU gets rid of the problem, so it might as well be related to interrupt acknowledge, causing a corrupted sprite table instead of just slowdowns.

btw, there's a note in seta2.c "VSync: 58.5Hz", while it's emulated at 60Hz in MAME, changing that doesn't fix this problem though.

In case it helps, some pcb evidence.
At least the correct alien animation can be seen:
