Well, Hans, I installed a custom 2.6.18.1 kernel and ivtv 0.8.0. Results were 
exactly the same:

ivtv0 warning: ENC: REG_DMAXFER 2 wait failed
ivtv0 warning: ENC: (0) DMA Error 0x00000001 00000001
ivtv0 warning: ENC: REG_DMAXFER 2 wait failed
ivtv0 warning: ENC: (1) DMA Error 0x00000001 00000001
ivtv0 warning: ENC: REG_DMAXFER 2 wait failed
ivtv0 warning: ENC: (2) DMA Error 0x00000001 00000005
ivtv0 warning: ENC: REG_DMAXFER 2 wait failed
ivtv0 warning: ENC: (3) DMA Error 0x00000001 00000005
ivtv0 warning: ENC: REDO DMA took too many tries.
ivtv0 warning: Error Encoder DMA
ivtv0 warning: Couldn't find start of buffer within the first 256 bytes

Driver load messages are below. Do you think your beta driver might help?
