Just looking at the images myself, the reflections look right to me - I 
*think* you get the weird lines because of reflections off the bottom, 
but because of the IOR settings, you don't see (for example with the 
little triangle at the bottom) the reflection in the side because of the 
IOR.

I haven't looked at the model myself, just my first impressions on 
looking at the image were "this looks right to me assuming the IOR is set 
to do that".  I vaguely recall seeing something like this IRL that had 
reflections that were similar.
