And in any case, wouldn't the proper representation of this particular 6-track mix (with split surrounds) be 5.1? Seems more likely that this 4.1 would be an honestly-labelled repeat of the mono-surround 35mm upmix from 1999.

Yeah, that would be a more suitable configuration if it really was a mix with split surrounds, which the post from that old thread you posted, the Widescreen Review and the actual Laserdisc now suggests.

Agree that it seems more likely. Also, wouldn't they proudly state that the track was mastered from the 6-track elements on the box if that was really the case. No matter what, the Laserdisc audio tracks needs to be preserved. I may even buy a copy of that laserdisc.
