Yes:  I've just looked at two UK DVB-T2 HD .h264 recordings converted 
(in February) to SD mpeg2 using  'mythffmpeg -target pal-dvd', as in 
mytharchive.

mediainfo shows that the original input HD is
'25.00 fps 1920:1080 Component:Progressive'

and the output SD is
'25.00 fps 720:576 PAL:Progressive'

so mythffmpeg has not done any deinterlacing in this case.

I've also found one HD recording with 'Component:MBAFF' - known to wiki 
but not previously to me.

I don't remember noticing any deinterlacing artefacts on the few DVDs 
I've burned from HD recordings - but apparently my DVD player upscales 
to 1080p anyway...
