There are two things at play in transferring a film in 1.85 and opening it up to 1.78 slightly, which many transfers do:

If a negative is being used for the transfer there is a little extra side information that is not there on prints - opening up slightly keeps the 1.85 shape. The other main reason has already been stated - overscan. Most TVs have it and opening up slightly just lets the overscan put it back to something resembling the 1.85 frame (some overscan is worse than other overscan). So, there is really no point in listing 1.78 as incorrect ratio for a 1.85 film.
