There are only two ways that would allow the pixel rate output of the CSI-TXB
to be different than the sampling frequency. The SD core or TXB would need to
either resample or buffer the signal. Resampling would change the resolution
so that's out of question. Buffering would require a memory buffer large
enough to hold one line of data, which would be quite expensive in terms of
silicon, and is thus unlikely.

Could you measure the frequency of the CSI-2 clock signal with a scope ?

I assume that the CSI-2 receiver clock frequency-dependent settings control
the PLL and/or clock filters. You could try to get more information from
Renesas to find out how this operates, it could give us a clue as to what is
happening.

If capture fails something is definitely wrong :-) The easiest way to find
out, in my opinion, would be to measure the CSI-2 clock frequency, as that
would tell us on which side the problem lies.
