As luck would have it, I have an old scanned copy in .lit form and yes, you are right! Some stuff is missing. Don't know if it is PC (probably) or accidental, but I find it offensive that they changed it and called it 'original.' I expect the ecopy to be the same as the printed book, warts and all. If it offends me, I can zap it myself.
It was PC. At the time, there was evidently some thought about removing the haystack scene with Gwendolyn and Rod according some discussion in Cholly's Tavern. Whilst spanking a queen might have been acceptable in 1968, it was not considered acceptable in 2011. Lèse-majesté and all that.

I simply restored the scene from a old paperback copy of the book.
