Looks like 31 orphan blocks paid.  200 BTC to a change address (you'll notice one address was paid 200 BTC, which would indicate an address that a pool mines directly to, but the address has never been used before).  This matches the length of the orphan chain:  225430 - 225461.

The only minor concern is that the 0.7 chain was restored at 07:30 UTC, which means 6 blocks in the 0.8 orphan fork were mined AFTER the issue should have been resolved if running a standard bitcoind (as far as I'm aware).  However, if the decision was made to pay out the orphan chain, it would seem unfair to withhold that compensation on certain blocks in the chain.
