Create a simplified hip file with the issue and add it to the post. Will make your chances of getting help allot bigger. Hard to say what can be wrong from some images and text, when not knowing the setup that have been used.

no one knows and no one will tell you apparently,
there is ZERO info on practical applications on animation Grooms online
no docs, no example projects, a few things behind paywalls that probablhy dont work
Every single search result I find looks like this, just a question and nothing else

Good to hear it'solved 
Regarding the exr files being heavy. With dwaa compression, you can get the files tiny and still looking good. That's what we are doing on our background plates that is used in Maya(anim) and Houdini. The big exr files with zip compression is only used in Nuke at the end.

We are using exr files with ACEScg colorspace for everything getting imported into Houdini, so artist don't have to deal with colorspace. But yes improvements should be added, so it will be easy to just invert the Display view transform on the backplate as it is in Maya.
