Wow, and you actually noticed that? It took me like 10 times switching between the pictures before I saw what you meant :-D I should start a competition for the weirdest thing people notice about the 2004 transfer (I didn't check but it must be there in the 2004 transfer, because I can't imagine how I could have caused this to happen).
EDIT: You_Too beat me to it. But actually, when you know what to look for, there's a ton of stuff like this in the '04 transfer, which I think is more likely to be caused by stabilization than the cleanup - like they used some sort of dewarp stabilizing algorithm and it just went haywire sometimes.
