You may be onto something here?
Considering that PFE was pressured into releasing this disc once Tim Cook was talked into the project.
Considering that they couldn't (for whatever REA$ON$) find someone to do the production work for them.
Considering that there must have been a change in command as to who was handling the project. (could explain the appearance of Donna Bridges in April and the disappearance of Michael Lane)
They may have cut a deal in during the 11th hour with Hollywood Video but through cutting CO$T$ they may have said they will make do with the UK artwork rather than hire a printer to redo it (extra expense)... just to be able to push it out the door without further delays.
Has anyone checked the hub to see who pressed the disc? It may have been done in the UK? Has anyone done a comparison between the Region 2 and Region 1 discs yet? That may show the same flaws in the same places lending to the fact it is the same transfer... or possibly the bit rate comparisons? Is the Region 2 disc also void of the studio logo introduction to the film?
All unsubstantiated theory but all points possible.
A classic example of a company getting in over their heads trying to do something they are totally unprepared for.
