It could be a good thing to test other encoder if you can.

I don't know about switching flags. Would HCEnc do that sort of thing? What could I use to check this? Restream?
Maybe, other encoders can do that too if you tell to. With ReStream you can check only the first header, not the whole file. If the scanning order switch over time, you'll see only the starting scanning order.

I have never seen a PAL DVD labelled as "progressive" or otherwise, in fact I have a few that seem to be encoded interlaced.
I've seen quite of them but in general they don't have the progressive_sequence set to ON (because in general the encoder used for dvd is CCE which doesn't support the progressive_sequence). They set progressive frame = ON and Top Field First set to ON, with constant ZigZag scanning order. This is probably the most compatible settings since it allows anyway to output progressive in a progressive-scan player.

How is this achieved in CCE SP?
Set ZigZag scanning order, leave unchecked 'progressive frame', set offset line to 0 and check Top Field First
