You are incorrect on both counts:

> 1) The stack pointer is not being reset to its original location.

Yes it is.  The first ldm reloads the stack pointer with the value it when 
    mov  ip, sp
was executed.  The second ldm pops the original ip value off the stack and
restores sp to the value it had before the interrupt was taken.

> 2) One of those ldm** needs a ^ after it to restore the correct CPSR.

No.  Neither of the ldm instructions restores the PC, so it must not use ^ or
it would end up accessing the user-bank register set.   Instead, the final
subs (note use of condition flag) instruction restores the CPSR.
