You are correct about the sources, Paul, and yes, we do need a similar comparison of the U.S. BR vs. other discs. But if you read the whole thread, the prior comparison is still revealing:

The BD version unfortunately has a weird processed look to it. Could be sharpening.. but not sure. Looking at facehd1 there's just something funky going on over Travolta's ear. Switching to the BD version it almost looks like when you scan a magazine image into the computer and get that moire effect. I don't know, hard to describe.. just "processed". Still I'd easily give the nod to the BD version here.
