I haven't noticed any tearing in Mythfrontend on Mythbuntu 14.04.

I did get some in XBMC, which I fixed by adding:

xserver-command=X -bs

to disable the backing store as per advice in the XBMC forums. For the
record, they say don't  add Option "TearFree" "true" to xorg.conf,
which I had previously used to fix tearing in Mythfrontend in
previousl version of Mythbuntu.

I will try and post a sample that demonstrates the issue.

Yes, me too. It seems a lot better in 14.04, other problems notwithstanding.

I will try that and report back.

Thanks,
