Yah, that's been going on for a couple of weeks. Apparently someone interviewed a former staffer at the Parkes Observatory in Australia in which the staffer mentioned the tapes and how they sat around for a while then were shipped to JSC or Marshall or somewhere never to be seen again. It's been bandied about on blogs and sites like digg and /. and Space.com since then and just started popping up in the corporate media the last couple of days.
The genesis of the problem was that the EVA was originally scheduled to take place while the Earth was oriented so Goldstone was doing the tracking. When Armstrong requested moving the schedule up a couple of hours (as documented in "A Man on the Moon" by Andrew Chaikin, among others) the tracking schedule was thrown off, so the best that could be gotten live was the Slow-scan video we all know so well, due to the data relay limitations of the day. Slow-scan is incompatible with the NTSC TV signal so what you saw was a monitor shot by a TV camera with the resultant lovely "grainy ghost" picture. So Parkes recorded the NTSC-quality video and stored them and blah blah blah.
