The difference between an NTSC-M system and PAL-M system is very slight: http://www.pembers.freeserve.co.uk/World-TV-Standards/Transmission-Systems.html since the 'M' determines most of the parameters. The color burst on the CVBS would be the only difference. I can see how color burst could be detected wrong on CVBS. I'm not sure how the chroma baseband signal in S-Video would get messed up though.
