It's definitely there, and I can clearly see it on a smaller monitor than you're using (a 50" LG plasma). Having said that, I still (barely) feel that the new transfer's virtues outrank it's failures, so I went ahead and sold off my original.

It's really not a big deal and was never made out to be a big deal. It's just an observed difference between the two releases, just like all of the positives that have been pointed out.

Exactly. It's almost like random parts of the image want to stay where they are for a half-second while the rest of the image is properly panning, and it takes them a beat to "jump" to where they should be. It just makes everything kind of "pulse" oddly for a moment or two.
