It appears that a fix has been committed to the latest development version of xfce4-settings.  I am not sure if installing this has no unwanted side effects, but I installed it.  It appears to be working except if the TV is turned on after booting, the display is shrunken to about half size. If the TV is on before booting, and if I switch the input away and then back to the hdmi input, it appears to working fine. 

Based on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-331/+bug/1308105/comments/107, here is what I did using Mythbuntu 16.04:

$ sudo apt-get install xfce4-dev-tools libexo-1-dev libgarcon-1-0-dev libxfce4ui-1-dev libxklavier-dev
$ git clone git://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings
$ cd xfce4-settings
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-pluggable-dialogs --enable-libxklavier
$ make
$ sudo make install
