I've added additional logs to this XBMC ticket:
http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/13783#comment:7
I believe the aspect ratio problem and the black screen problem are related.
Note that there is the same problem with aspect ratio if you add a htsp:// source to addons/sources.xml (as per http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HTS_Tvheadend) - if you watch Live TV this way you get the wrong aspect ratio. It does this even if Live TV (PVR) is disabled in XBMC settings. This suggests that it is the internal XBMC implementation of HTSP, not the TVHeadend addon.
There's some issue with the way XBMC uses HTSP to pass data to OMXPlayer - espeically when OMXPlayer is first invoked from a non-playing state to a playing state. If OMXPlayer is already running and a Change Channel happens, there is not so much of a problem (with the Aspect Ratio problem, anyway).
