I dont have a test photo like the others...But i located a pic i did with CPLx2 only Custom white balance off the leaves. My cameras default IR color is a magenta type color....we see since i filtered out the red of the leaves with custom WB, Ir light takes over the reds of the vegetaion giving them a magenta color. Color channels are- Red channel=Pure IR (actually "NIR", but that just confuses people, so we'll say "IR" :P) Green channel=Moderate IR/visible mix Blue channel=Heavy IR/visible mix(dont ask me why blue now collects IR/visible instead of just visible) Looks like when i balanced out the red, i somehow unleashed IR light across all three color channels. Go figure.
