I think I see this happening.    Especially when there is a "ticker" at the
bottom of the screen.  Sometimes it is relatively smooth, and somtimes that
very same ticker will be jumpy, as if the field order is reversed.

But what I don't get is that I have the option to deinterlace the video on
playback enabled.    If that's the case, then the field order shouldn't
make a bit of difference, right?   I would assume it's blending both fields
together.

Anyone else?
