The special feature descriptions are the same for the 4K and Blu-ray, so there's no clear definition if the 4K disc has the short films in 4K (even if no Dolby/HDR). It just says they're from new 4K restorations, but again, the description is the same on the Blu-ray's description.

It also uses the exact same phrasing to describe the actual feature film itself, so though I agree it’s vague, I take it to mean the short films will be in true 2160p on the 4K disc.

Agreed. Plus the previous restoration of these were finished in a 1080p HD restoration for the Eureka release. I doubt that Kino would bother with new 4K restorations for the shorts unless they planned to include them in 4K. Otherwise the previous restorations would have been just fine.
