Problem with VDPAU and Temporal 2X deinterlacing

Description

I'm seeing a problem when using VDPAU and Temporal 2X deinterlacing to watch NBC primetime shows such as The Office, My Name is Earl, etc. When watching these shows flashes occur at scene changes that look like previous frames are getting inserted. According to the playback logs it appears that these broadcasts have frames marked interlaced and progressive. If I force the video scan to interlaced the video plays back perfectly. Also when using BOB 2X deinterlacing I don't see any visual problems.

You can download a sample below that visually shows the problem at a scene change and produces the mixed progressive/interlaced detection in the playback logs.

This is working as intended.

More advanced deinterlacers (not just in vdpau) typically use 3 frames for processing - with the middle frame intended for display. This means there is a 1 frame discrepancy between the audio and video (which generally goes unnoticed). When the deinterlacer is then disabled there is a momentary re-adjustment of the video. Bob does not use the extra reference frames, hence no visual impact when switching.
