Same explanation is before. File a bug but title it: kodi does not parse m2ts sufficiently. Stream parameters are not properly known and therefore refreshrate switching happens while movie already plays.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

What was the last working version? Refreshrate Delay (in general) was broken until some months ago, therefore I wonder.

In case it matters, the previous behaviour would be spinning wheel, then immediate refresh rate change (screen goes black) then return to first frame of video (90% of the time this is black) followed by set amount of delay & then playback begins.
I see now, rather than this, the spinning wheel comes up, refresh rate changes, then back to spinning wheel (rather than a hold on the first frame, the hold is on the spinning wheel).
Don’t know if this change in behaviour points towards why an m2ts would no longer work correctly?

Anyone know if the fix made it into Kodi 18.6?

I can confirm this is working OK now.

It is broken for his .ts files. Here kodi only analyzes a very short time for live tv switching. Broken recordings therefore won't get their framerate correctly detected. So on stream start kodi sees "I don't know fps" and therefore does not switch. After stream start, it sees: "50fps" and switches ... which causes a quite ugly effect.
tl;dr: It's fixed, but if kodi does not know the framerate on playback start, another visual effect is seen.

Remove the 25 hz from your whitelist and only keep the 50 hz one.
