Hi Andy,
Thanks for the report. You certainly hit the important issue of vignetting at the extremes. My 135 TE will be happy to know it wont be retired and miss the digital scene.
When I downloaded the frameline images from dpr, I found that they were resized to 4:3 from 3:2, apparently to fit Phil's web page layout. When I resized them to 3:2, they looked better and may be more like what you saw. With only a few days to Photokina we should be getting a string of hands on variations to compliment yours.
