I mean it never happened in the book, and I'll grant artistic license if and only if it can be backed up by proof. Since there is now an entire thread on the discrepancies of the scene, proof seems pretty much non-existant. Gollum takes hold of an elven leaf...

Well, the reason their's a whole thread devoted to the discrepancies of the scene is because the thread is about the discrepancies of it. If we had a thread devoted to the proof of it, it would be a short one because there's only one item of proof (the only one that matters at least). If you want proof to back up the artistic license that PJ has obtained (luckily), here it is:
The proof for the scene is Peter Jackson didn't want to confuse the audience with a seemingly meaningless 'Gollum aversion' to Elvish things. Sure, he put it the lembas-choking scene, but that wasn't even important enough to make the Theatrical Release, why should he further go into Gollum avoiding the touch of the leaf wrappings? Besides, I don't think PJ went with Tolien's concept of 'leaf wrappings', Tolkien's seemed to be acutal leaves, while PJ's were pretty much just packages that were decorated to look like leaves. There's a pretty big difference there.

...and crumbles the bread onto Sam whilst making enough noise to wake the dead. The crumbs had all fallen off Sam's jacket before Gollum pointed them out

Well, I know if I had had as little sleep as Sam & Frodo, & could've been
attacked by Dead & slept through it (whether I woke again or not
)! As for the crumbs having already 'fallen off' of Sam's jacket, that's simply an error in the movie, & there are plenty more like them. Just take it as Jackson meant it to be...
