casperg,

I think your scans show a substandard batch of TYG01. Have a look at how the jitter jumps in the area of the PIF spike/thickness areas. This almost certainly indicates a slight warp in the disc. As the disc rotates, the warped area is not as in clear focus as the other areas of the disc. Getting that many PIFs in areas with so few PIEs is not a good sign because it means that the problem areas are more than just the usual, random PIEs seen on most burns.

Jitter influences PIE/PIF, not the other way around.

This batch could have been mishandled (dropped, stored on their side for a long time) between the factory and you. You might try contacting Taiyo Yuden for a replacement.
