The current version actually does not support PAL-60. Proper PAL-60 output from
VEC requires configuring it differently than for regular PAL. We have unified
the PAL and PAL-60 modes for the "TV mode" property, but the code here has not
been adjusted appropriately.

I'll try to submit an additional patch that fixes this shortly.
