Well, there is some question of how valid the statement is, but it did
come from nvidia:

After some discussion with development, the issue here is likely that
custom Modelines in an X configuration are not supported for TV-out, and
were not supported in previous driver releases either. The key
difference is that in past drivers those custom modelines were silently
rejected, such that it seemed like they were working, even though they
were not. This behavior is intentional, as the TV encoders on videocards
are only capable of programming a limited number of modes.
