to avoid different brightness between the images shoot them in manual mode of your camera. In other case your camera takes a new messure with every picture!
He already stated so in the post and elaborated on the problem.
I had similar problems with using SNS in spherical panoramas.
Isolated single color low detail photos, eg, walls, ceilings, sky.
SNS would crack up the noise through the roof on those, especially if they are darker, but neighboring photos would be fine if the had some detail in them. They stand out like a sore thumb in the final panorama, though not as bad as Eriks example.
Tonemapping after stitching involves a different set of problems, IMO even worse.
Doing timelapses I noticed that SNS does tend to exaggerate the noise on darker photos making low light timelapses tricky.
Having options to handle images series would be a boon to panographer and timelapsers.
