Over on www.rottentomatoes.com they are reporting this as well...they are also saying that the IMAX versions will have additional scenes in them. Maybe it explains a few things like where Barricade went off to. lol.

I wonder if other scenes will be trimmed down for this release? Aren't many IMAX films shortened versions?

There USED to be a 2 hour max time limit on how long an IMAX film could be. this caused films like Apollo 13 and Star Wars Ep II to be shortened.
But I'm pretty sure that limit has been lifted, since IMAX theaters and IMAX presentations of major movies have proliferated.
On the other hand, Bay's "Director's cut" of Pearl Harbor had more footage, but trimmed some of the silier stuff and extraneous stuff from the original cut. So, who knows...
