1) Never saw/heard that. Are you using HDMI for both video and audio? If so, lip synch shouldn't be a problem. Maybe you could clarify your A/V connections since the 83 is so flexible there. There are some BDs out there with inherent lip synch, but we won't count them.
2) I've seen that too on BDs once in a long while. I've also seen a similar look watching some live HD broadcasts, during panning. Obviously not the 83 for the latter. So I'm going to guess it's either an artifact of the HD cameras, or of my (your) display. It is something I don't see often though. The BDs where you see it: do you know if they were created on film or digitally (these days it's often bits of both)? Maybe you can give an educated guess for the scenes when the stutter occurs...maybe we can point the finger at some type of camera. There is no doubt though the human eye can see the natural "stutter" of 24fps, and some people are much more sensitive to it.
The thing you don't want to hear is your 83 is crapping out. Almost always, 83 playback problems are the indicator of that, and seem to start with failure to read BDs, then DVDs, then nada...so I'll guess you're OK.
