Many of the newer digital SLR cameras still use focal plane shutters, e.g. all of the Canon digital SLRs use a focal plane shutter.

James,
 
As far as I know, most modern camera shutters work in such a way that all of the prop blur you will see is like it is in your photos. Symetrical.
 
Older cameras have what is called a focal-plane shutter, and I think it moves a certain way that produces that whacked out, curved prop phenomina. I love it - think it's very cool. It probably only works well at certain rpm settings and shitter speeds.
 
HTH, or correct me if I have something wrong.
