Steve,
I was assuming that, since the soundhead isn't supposed to be scanning more than 100% (or 102% as I recall from some other discussion) of the optical soundtrack width, the intensity of any pop should be limited to 102% of max optical level, which would represent an increase of a very small fraction of 1 dB. Good point about the film base not being there. I suppose it should also be taken into account that a splice gap has no septum between Lt and Rt information which would further increase the signal... but still, only another fraction of a dB. Perhaps it's the summing of the pop to center?
As far as slit loss EQ, I was assuming that Darryl's "Years ago" situation implied older equipment that probably wouldn't produce an A-chain flat to 16 kHz. In any case, my point was that a pop, though rich in hf, would be subject to the same A-chain limitations as an actual soundtrack rich in hf.
