I promised earlier to report back with some audio findings, so here they are:
The DTS-MA 1.0 mono mix track is fine. A player, such as a Blu-ray player or receiver, that can decode DTS-MA can play it back just fine. A player, such as VLC or MPC, which cannot decode DTS-MA, can play back the lossy DTS core fine. It's only software with a buggy DTS-MA decoder implementation (ArcSoft, others?) that chokes--probably because they don't handle mono encoding correctly (it's rare and may not be in their test suite).
I've confirmed the Japanese track appears to be the home video dub, not the theatrical dub. I don't think this is a big problem because I understand the home video dub to be the more well-regarded dub. Just a labeling issue.
So it's not possible to get a download link for the original PCM file of the DTS-HD MA mono track? You could even compress it easily to FLAC before uploading...
