My x265 settings are based on frame-by-frame comparisons that I made several times. A small CTU and TU size look better (least distortion compared to the original image) with 720p encodes. For 1080p, I would use one notch higher values (also based on my tests). The chroma offsets don't change the bitrate much in CRF mode so the difference in 2-pass shouldn't also be big. Besides, x264 already does a similar thing by default.

Dont seem to be an "general" issue with x265. Did a re-encode of your sample and I didnt get an gradiant issue, and overall I think x265 did a better job. I think benwaggoner is right, its your settings thats causing it.
x264 2pass @ 5Mbps, veryslow tune film
x265 2pass @ 5Mbps, slow, --no-sao --no-strong-intra-smoothing --deblock -1:-1
