So, if you drop the duplicated frames, you end up with a smooth 25 fps. So, hopefully your software dropped the correct frames when converting to 25 fps, otherwise, there's going to be some judder. I'll take a look at what happened with your encode once I've finished downloading it.
So, the bad news is that the software resolved the 30 fps to 25 fps conversion by blending frames (blending two frames into one). Which would have been fine if it had blended the duplicate frames (two identical frames blended into one would have looked exactly the same). Unfortunately, it did not choose those, so instead you get a lot of frames that have ghosting artifacts. This is especially apparent on fast moves. I've attached an example of what the ghosting looks like on a single frame. (The vpro footage came out perfect, btw.)

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to designate the correct cadence to Vegas, or if it can even do it. This will require more research.
