Are your fps always low, the pict show 19.96 and I would expect 23.xx or higher? I see lots of frame drops (592) and this is a small video resolution.
Same with sync video off (also know as smoothvideo) ?

Turn resample quality right down - it's a major CPU hog.

since it only happens with your TV shows (which I assume are SD) could it be the upscaling which you have enabled? Have you tried with that turned off?

Have you done like jmarshall and motd2k asked and turned off "High Quality Upscaling For SD Material" and retested the clip you posted? Your FPS is low, the material is SD, you have upscaing on and your xbmc.log indicated that the internal DVDPlayer is dropping frames to keep up. When you start dropping frames, the video "jumps".
Don't make the assumption that "jumps in the video" in SD and HD material are due to the same thing. Bad assumption.
Let's work the problem and solve it for one (SD or HD) before we start thrashing around trying random fixes.

the settings in that pic are old, High Quality Upscaling For SD Material is off since the second post, and like I told in the past post dont jump but i get the scanning lines.
dont know why but The 4400 episodes are the most jumpy ones...(if I enable vertical sync)
and about one of your observation I was checking and they jump even with fps at 23(with vertical sync enable)
....
but that happens when you keep upgrading from svn I should stop when everything was working perfect, no jumps and DTS music was working now both are broken i can live without DTS music but the videos are another thing !!!

i don't know if this is the same issue as yours, but i had a problem when returning from Bootcamp into osx 10.5.6. Everytime i would use bootcamp and reboot to osx, XBMC would play stuttering video. (in fact, even vlc would stutter, so i don't believe it was XBMC that was the problem.)
i tried everything, thinking it was other software,etc... but i finally narrowed it down to that one thing, bootcamp. The fix for me was to dump the Caches folder in both /Library and /user/Library, after coming back from BC, and then reboot again.
I always have to do this after coming back from bootcamp. I have a mac intel mini, 2.0 Ghz duo, 4GB Ram, etc.... well now i have SL and don't know if that fixed the problem.
anyways, thought i'd drop that in, to see if might help.
