The video for Twist in the Dark has been posted on YouTube today, on her official channel. Not sure if it’s been upscaled or anything. It was already on YouTube posted by someone else.
The album was released on 17 September 1984 - the ABBA socials are making out it’s to mark the anniversary. Presumably nothing else is in the pipeline (well, it’s been a terrible anniversary year for ABBA fans anyway).

It looks a bit fresher. I saw somewhere on the socials that it was "premiered" on Vevo. Great track, great clip. Always been a big favourite for me on that album. I guess we should accept that its 40th anniversary is not being marked. Such a shame when we now know for a fact that two of the three additional recordings are out there.
EDIT: looking at it again, I notice that the ending is longer. It fades to white over a longer period than previously released versions. The colour saturation is better and everything seems a little more crisp. And yet it's not tagged as HD or 4K or whatever. The Shine video needs to be rinsed and spritzed too: the currently available version fades very early.
Veering slightly off topic, part of me suspects there might be an unreleased 12" version of this song lurking in the vaults. I only say that because TITD had originally been earmarked for single release: it has a high-end video, and you just weren't at the races in 1984 if your single didn't also have a 12" version.

Nice to see it in good quality, it's missing on the 2005 DVD. It's indeed unfortunate no anniversary treatment seems to be happening despite there being lots of interesting material. I somehow feel it's an ill-fated project for Frida though and our best bet for the additional recordings probably is to them appearing similarily to When Love Turns To Lies and Can't Be Serious. They are circulating in a very restricted manner, probably since the 80s. Some 30 seconds of I Don't Wanna Be Alone in good quality had been made available by a well-known ABBA fan on his website some time in the 00s.
