I tried a track from a DVD were the box states many times it's "Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX" but eac3to 2.75 detected it as plain ol AC3 5.1.

Here it is if you wanna check it out: http://www.sendspace.com/file/8r29v3

So you can use a hexeditor, search for the first 0x47 byte and remove the first few bytes of the file, until the fifth (or first) byte is 0x47. If that doesn't work, just repeat the process another 2-3 times. At some time eac3to will properly detect and handle the file.
So you did this to the sample I gave you and it demuxed fine? Then I don't know how to give you an example to work with. I remember it occurred on Predator, if you have access to that disc. You couldn't simply make a switch to simple ignore problem in non-clean tracks?
