I think this commit fixes the crash:

Your changes above seems to be ok for omap3.

So does everything work if you use the LCD? And the problems only appear
when you enable the tv-output?
You could try a bit more step-by-step approach in your script. First
enable GFX overlay on the LCD, and resize it so that it fits to both LCD
and TV. See that it works ok. Then enable the TV-out. Then move the GFX
overlay to the TV. etc.
Also, if you have your test setup working on newer kernel, and it
doesn't work on older, you could get dumps of the dss registers and
compare those. (debugfs/omapdss/dispc and venc).
Hmm. Actually, your script is missing something: it doesn't set the
input_size, i.e. the framebuffer size for fb2. You should set it before
enabling the overlay (fbset -xres $w -vxres $w -yres $h -vyres $h).
I haven't tested tv-out for a while, but I could give it a try on
BeagleBoard. Although I don't have an s-video cable, but I guess it's
enough if I don't see the underflows =).
