The only reason eac3to uses only 16 bits and not 24 in this track is that only those bits contain audio information. The 8 least significant bits are empty. Eac3to does not need to do a second pass in order to strip these. So the second pass must have another reason, e.g. because eac3to detects clipping.
I suspect there is something (slightly) wrong with the file and that's why the second pass produces garbage (this happend to me once).
In any event, if the result of the first pass is ok, i.e. audio is in sync throughout the movie, you can use that of course.
