"I've been suspecting that a lot of DTS-HD MA audio on "catalog" movie BD titles is just upsampled and manipulated DD 5.1 (e.g.) source."
I don't think it's anything like that. With movies, there's either an analog master (for older films) -- a PCM digital master has to be created for the encode to DVD or Blu-ray -- or a PCM digital master (for newer films). I doubt anyone's taking the Dolby Digital mix, decompressing it to PCM and then re-encoding to DTS-HD MA. That would be doing more work only to end up with with an inferior product.
