I do have a blue line in interlaced modes with my nvidia, but not in normal 
mode. My blue line in below the image.
Can you try if there's any difference between the video output plugins ?
I mean starting xine like :

xine -V xv
xine -V xshm 
xine -V opengl
xine -V XvMC (it seems indeed broken now, but anyways).

As far as I could figure out there seems to be some problem in the nvidia 
driver with interlaced modes and perhaps TV-out (I don't think it's a xine 
problem because my matrox card output doesn't suffer from this). These kind 
of issues are not easy to tackle as the nvidia stuff is closed source. Some 
trial and error with the output plugins may give some hints where to look for 
I guess.
