John, I'm using PAL, or rather should do. I use ivtv version 0.2.0 (rc3j).
In my modprobe.conf I have these ivtv parameters:
options ivtv ivtv_std=2 tda9887=0

So I guess this ought to do the trick, unless for some reason this line 
is not activated. But you might be right, as the ivtv init output 
(entire output shown at the end of this reply) first says:
May 30 21:52:57 dhcppc3 kernel: saa7127: Selecting NTSC video Standard

but then at the very bottom:
May 30 21:52:57 dhcppc3 kernel: ivtv: Switching standard to PAL.

May 30 21:52:57 dhcppc3 kernel: saa7127: Set PAL Video Mode
May 30 21:52:57 dhcppc3 kernel: saa7127: Selecting PAL video Standard

I have not been able to find others with this problem with this 
flickering test image. Normally people either have a blank screen or it 
just works :(

As it has worked for me before, I know the card is o.k., the cabling 
also o.k., and the modprobe.conf identical and also the xorg.conf 
likewise (presently I am testing with a VGA output xorg.conf though).
