Comment (by teague at wisc.edu):

 The issue is not in the display of 1080i material, it's in the VLD
 decoding of the stream.  The Epia SP (and newer boards) can decode the
 stream, boards don't have enough shared video memory (even at 64 Mb, the
 maximum setting) to allocate 16 decoding buffers.

 The above attachment fixes this particular problem by reducing that number
 to 14, which (to my eye) doesn't result in a noticable difference in
 playback quality.  Unforunately, the Epia SPs are marginal for HD playback
 in other areas; I've got a few more fixes that help with stuttering issues
 that I will try to package up and post here later.
