Thanks for the pointer, tuxen

I added...

Code:

<video>
     <adjustrefreshrate>
       <override>
         <fps>25.0</fps>
         <refresh>50.0</refresh>
       </override>
  </video>

...to advancedsettings.xml which is a good workaround for now.

However, any content that is genuinely 25 frames per second will also output at 50Hz which it has been pointed out is a waste of resources.
I suspect the issue is further upstream. Interpolated/interlaced content should set the refresh rate to double the frames per second and for some reason, in these builds it does not do that.

FYI:
