Sorry to dig up an old thread but found this today:

Turns out the Aliens blu-ray had more changes to it than I had thought. I can't check my discs at the moment due to being in the middle of a house move but are these changes made to both versions or just the Special Edition?
I cannot answer your question as I don't own this release myself, but the pulse rifle/ flamethrower edit mixup on the dropship, had apparently been corrected already in '92 for the broadcast version of the Special Edition, only for the DVD's to bring back the continuity error.
On a second look at that page you linked to, except "scratches on the window" and "Bishop in the hole" scenes, aren't the other two scenes listed exclusive to the Special Edition cut of the film?
