I think I can connect my USB tuner to the PC and presumably run tvheadend, so I should be able to. Obviously it will be connected to the TV via HDMI not composite though, so I'm not sure it will be a meaningful comparison, as Kodi may well be able to make the TV change mode via HDMI. In fact, I should test the RPi via HDMI first.
Composit I'm not aware that there is any signaling of 16/9 on a composit output, so HDMI will be the solution to go for the right aspect and a clear picture :-). I have never seen any issues on HDMI with wrong AR if it is implemented correctly on the broadcasters side.
EDIT: there is WSS signaling in PAL signals, the question is if it is implemented in the Firmware: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widescreen_signaling
