I’ve also noticed the search results as per my post further up the thread.
Although it says HD it is far better on my 49inch LG than broadcast HD channels.
I agree the sound quality seems better too - I did check within the Sonos app and that confirms the audio is still Dolby Digital 5.1 rather than the improved Dolby Digital Plus I've seen used on BT Sport Ultimate. I wonder what sound format Sky Q provides for UHD content.

I have noticed the icon changes to HD as you select the film although I then think the picture quality is higher than that of the usual HD on demand quality. This could well be a placebo effect but it seems to me like the labelling of these listings isn't quite complete but the film is UHD - perhaps pending an official announcement?
