Nothing is treated as 288p, I don't know what you're talking about here. Do you have evidence for this claim? The fact that I only found one or two models where this problem is actually mentioned seems to suggest it's against the norm.

Yes, leaving "film mode" on makes interlaced content look horrible - far worse than deinterlacing progressive material would look if the deinterlacer is working correctly. Again, I haven't encountered this (on my HTPC or on the few HDTVs I've used), yet you seem to be suggesting it's extremely common. Even madshi said your sample was a rare case.
