I think the paper you want is [B. Halpern, "Strange Billiard Tables." *Transactions of the AMS* Vol 232, 1977.][1]

It looks like he constructs a $C^2$ catastrophe (with collision points on the unit circle, but an irregularly shaped table passing through those points) and rules out a $C^3$ catastrophe.
