I'm seeing that same behavior here -- not with an aspect change but
with a damaged video frame.  I've got a test video if anyone wants a
copy (it's 300MB, but I'll happily press onto a CD and send it if you
want to see the problem).

Basically, I get:

[mpeg1video @ 0x89b9f78]ac-tex damaged at 2 26
[mpeg1video @ 0x89b9f78]concealing errors
[mpeg1video @ 0x89b9f78]Warning MVs not available
[mpeg1video @ 0x89b9f78]slice below image (69 >= 30)
[mpeg1video @ 0x89b9f78]slice below image (37 >= 30)
[mpeg1video @ 0x89b9f78]slice below image (55 >= 30)
[mpeg1video @ 0x89b9f78]concealing errors
[mpeg1video @ 0x89b9f78]slice below image (38 >= 30)
[mpeg1video @ 0x89b9f78]concealing errors

And then the jitter starts..  If I can jump past the "bad frame" then
it doesn't jitter.

Strangely, this problem ONLY occurs in Myth with software decode.  I
can use mplayer and the video is just fine (even when I force the
ffmpeg a/v codecs).  Also, output to a pvr-350 works fine, with a
small correction around when the video is damaged.
