Issue has been resolved.  Although I read a lot of feedback the problem was
due to rendering resolution. The distortion came from rendering the image
1024x768.  There the spheres are warped (and incorrectly so to my eyes) so I
tried rendering the image "square" at 1024x1024.  Voila!  The spheres are
now correctly shaped and the perspective is normal to my eyeballs.

Okay so I'm a moron....
