  and yet we've read of "real" incidents from Slothrop's account.  Forgive
  me, I'm reading through only for the second time and I can't recall how
  this is handled/resolved/answered (or if it is) later on.

I always thought that this was never clear (what is real?), or maybe
that someone had "disappeared" the women.  I don't remember it being
resolved anywhere later.
