It looks OK, according to tcprobe, when demuxed with tcdemux, but it is 
not. Try this:

tcdemux -i test.mpg > test.m2v
mpeg2desc -a0 < test.mpg > test.mp2
(so that we have an audio stream to mux with, don't now how to do this 
with tcdemux).

tcmplex -i test.m2v -p test.mp2 -m d -o test2.mpg

INFO: using reference profile (DVD)
INFO: profile type is (PAL)

ERROR: File test.m2v is not a 11172-2 or 13818-2 Video stream.
