Works fine, as long as you don't need the overlay for anything.  Hardware 
scaling, colorspace conversion, and display are all still present.  Just no 
hardware overlay (which myth doesn't use).  The email you link to is wrong - 
really, the only things that don't work are xawtv in overlay mode and 
adjusting the picture controls.
