A bit of an update - I isolated the pot about a fortnight ago and sprayed with Richgro Beat-a-Bug once a week to keep aphids and bugs off it, just in case. Today as I was spraying it, I noticed this on the single 'Sancerre' stem:

The new location for the pot was at higher risk of getting rain, but I thought I had it far enough into the carport to avoid that. The damage I found today makes me wonder if it wasn't (as that stem would have been closest to the edge of the carport) and all the rain we've had in the past week has caused this.

Is this possibly over-watering or botrytis? I'm leaning towards the latter given there's that random spot on one of the upper leaves. I haven't removed these dying leaves yet, but intend to.

Meanwhile, the double-nosed bulb with the leaf markings looked like this a few days ago:

I assume this is still consistent with cold damage?
