I'm actually remote to my main computer and was having cutting the VOB, so pardon the 10MB file - best I could do quickly:

thetoof, it was difficult to make cuts remotely connected, so i'll have to repost in the morning if this doesn't provide anything useful. so this desn't include the clearly noticeable artifacts i mentioned, but i bet the peoples' faces in the crowd have minor combing artifacts if you ivtc look closely. i know that's splitting hairs, but if this was telecined from a 24p source, shouldn't it *always* IVTC perfectly back to 24p?
