Re: R' Lipshutz's story about the Munkaczer Rebbe. See Sefer Masa'ot Yerushalayim (ostensibly the official Munkaczer record of R' Elazar Shapiro's visit to EY) for a completely different account (found here - http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=10152&pgnum=95 ).
I'm not sure where R' Lipshutz got his version of the story.
Thanks. Interesting.
It does say there, though, that there was a lot more to the conversation that was not revealed. Perhaps, it was revealed later - after this was published.
Maybe you can ask Rabbi Lipschutz himself for the source - at his blog:
http://rabbipinchoslipschutz.blogspot.com/2013/08/a-meaningful-elul.html
or at the Matzav link
or send a letter to the editor of the Yated:

If I were an orthodox Jew in Nicaragua I would not advertize it on Google, Facebook, or on that website.
