You have found a bug... As you noticed, disabling deinterlacing fixes it. But 
this is not what I intended to do ;-)

The picture is not scaled if you don't use XV display mode. X11 mode is not 
capable of scaling, XV does it using the video card's hardware scaling 
acceleration.

So you need to get video drivers with working XV or use the Open-Source 
drivers.
