So I just got XXXV and watched Being From Another Planet and, uh, you know, to continue your important research, took special notice of that scene. It seems like Servo's head covers it up pretty quickly performing some self-censorship (almost the equivalent of Joel holding up the umbrella in City Limits), but with the quality of the Shout version compared to broadcaswt copies, it's noticeably visible for a split second before its covered.
Of course, since it comes with the original uncut movie on the same DVD, it's pretty unnecessary to squint at the MST3K version since it's more visible without Servo's head. Plus the same actress does another even clearer topless scene earlier in the movie (which I only noticed due to continuing this research,of course).
Other interesting, non-pervy, things about the uncut "Time Walker" version on the release:
-The video quality is really good - it's anamorphic widescreen with solid colors. I'm assuming it's the same master that was in a Roger Corman 4 movie set that Shout Factory released in 2011.
-I always thought the incredibly sudden ending of the guy getting his hand burned and screaming and then jumping directly to credits was due to Film Ventures editing in their own credit sequences and cutting something, but no, the original film ends the same way. The only difference is the inclusion of a hilarious "To Be Continued..." title card. Apparently someone thought "The Further Adventures of Ben Murphy and Alien Mummy Through Time and Space" sequel was a sure thing...

... I think I can say without a shadow of a doubt that for barely a second a nipple was on MST. It's dark VHS master makes it difficult to make out, but it's there. I'm a sad little man. I never noticed that, myself -- although I couldn't help noticing the massive amounts of "sideboob" on that one chick's dress in the mummy-themed dorm party scene. I'm also a sad little man.
