Well...if I remember correctly, the OVA attempts to rationalize the attempted rape by putting Yoshino/Guy with the porno mag that originally went to Naoyuki. He was reading it at the store, got horny, then overheard the rumors of Iriya's stay at the elementary school. Still, considering the fact that those rumors are 99% of the time just rumors, it was pretty random and dumb to try and get his rocks off that way.
My favorite aspect of Iriya is probably the humanity of the characters, esp Naoyuki, he is just a regular guy in irregular circumstances and reacts accordingly. In this OVA is was just "wtf random...O.o", in the novels this scene is "major character development" for Naoyuki. The OVA also didn't introduce the supporting characters in the military who worked with Iriya. When Iriya loses her recognition of Asaba, she's relating to all these characters the viewer isn't even familiar with.
As good as KyoAni is, from watching ef ~a tale of memories~ I'd really like to see what SHAFT would do with Iriya.
