Chris, I'm kinda in agreement with the others as to this leak is showing up in the exposed area between the pressure plate and film cartridge. My original queries were to eliminate the possibility of the light strike having happened before the film was loaded into the camera. And sometimes when you hold the camera differently, it may block the leak.

Too thick sealing material, or some of it not seated right may be holding the back open ever so slightly, or the back itself may be bent somewhat. Light leaks from the top of the chamber, as suggested by Wayne, or one side of the back, would result in a fanned out look to the leak. Yours is straight across, and very strong. Is there a film canister window on the back of this camera?
