This is, because xine blends the OSD in the original image before scaling. 
Many stations broadcast only 480x576, so an OSD with 720x576 will be 
horizontally bigger and cut off at the right.

xine's OSD handling was designed to work with DVDs, where OSD and video stream 
come from a single source and fit together.

That's the drawback of unscaled OSD. It seems, that currently no output driver 
is capable of color keying with transparency.

As the vdr-xine plugin has almost no features left (isn't it), maybe I should 
put some work on xine's OSD handling.

Bye.
