Thanks for checking into this with your contacts, Stephen. I'll have to pickup a copy of the T2 Skynet Edition at some point to find out what the deal is with the special "Dolby Headphone" tracks referred to by some reviewers. It makes perfect sense to me to leave this out of the encoding and hand things off to a receiver/decoder for discrete 5.1 or 2.0 Dolby Surround tracks to use its own DSP headphone processing algorithms based on a user-selected room model that suits the track best.
