Wikipedia on converting 24p to PAL:
The most popular method [of converting] is to speed up the material by 25/24 (4%). […] As for audio, the ~4% increase in speed raises the pitch by 0.7 of a semitone.
That speed increase doesn’t happen with Blu-ray or DVD, but I get it on television where I live (Australia is a PAL region). I’ve noticed that pitch variance very occasionally.
I can’t help but think that online video distribution will fix these kinds of technical issues. There’s no need to convert to PAL or NTSC or whatever when it’s just 1s and 0s going across a network, right?
