You can't depend on the flag. It's a strange one. I have a channel that is reported as 1080i by the femon plugin but deint has to be off sometimes to reduce jitter. Other times it can be on. The FCC has gotten very lax in requirments and even more lax in inforcing what rules they do have.

For progressive HD material I have to manually turn off deinterlacing, then turn it on again for interlaced material. That's annoying.
I thought there was supposed to be a flag in MPEG meta data which indicates whether pairs of fields are interlaced or progressive so decoders can determine how to combine them without doing any complicated picture analysis. Are broadcasters not using the flag properly, or xine not reading it? xine-ui's preferences dialog has an option to disable interlacing for progressive material, have you set that in whichever front-end you're using?
