You're welcome to send over a sample and I'll try and play it on my set up to see if I can see the error as well. Other than that it seems like a hardware issue - can't really think of anything else.
I've just finished watched my Farscape DVD encodes (80+ episodes) which are all PAL and not one dropped frame or moment of judder.

Yeah TV dose 50Hz natively. It dose all the popular refresh rates.
That's strange then as i could get it to judder 50% of the time. Maybe its my GPU ? Its a Nvidia GTX 660 Ti gaming card. Latest drivers. But i don't do much gaming on it anymore as i use the PS3 mostly so i am wondering if i should pull the card out and just use the one on the core i5 processor instead ? Its a bit odd as it should work. Well it dose work. Just not up to my fussy standards.

Do a full debug log, let's have a look what's going on.
Addons I wrote &/or maintain:
OzWeather (Australian BOM weather) | Check Previous Episode | Playback Resumer | Unpause Jumpback | XSqueezeDisplay | (Legacy - XSqueeze & XZen)
Sorry, no help w/out a
*full debug log*.

I've not noticed any issue with 50Hz playback on my system.
Some advice for anyone with issues.
While the forum should always be 1st port of call just to make sure any issue of is not misconfiguration or something else that can be fixed with the help of the community, if you don't get anywhere and no devs have pitched in, then you should raise a trac ticket by following the bugtracker link at the top of the forum.
The devs are very busy people particularly now we're in bug fixing phase for getting Gotham done, so it'll be trac tickets getting priority at the moment, and I see no mention of a formal bug report having been made.
Words of warning however, please try and make sure it's a genuine bug as far as you can first, as if the bug tracker gets snowed under with lots of issues which aren't bugs, then the genuine stuff is more easily missed and won't get the attention it should. Also do not raise a trac ticket without including a full set of information, for a playback issue such as this I mean:
1. A detailed description of the type of video being played, the MediaInfo output for a problematic file for example.
2. A detailed description of how the problems shows themselves, and if repeatable by following then same steps each time then include this.
3. A debug log taken while the problem is occurring.
4. Screenshots of video playback and video acceleration settings.
4. A sample file to help with replication, if the problem always occurs at the same runtime point include this in the report.
5. Include link to forum discussion.
Anything not including all of this will likely just sit in the bug tracker and will be given lower priority than tickets where the information is available. Normally about 80% of the work in getting something fixed is for the dev to be able to replicate, anything you can do to make this easier will progress the issue quicker.

My first system was an asrock 330 which is an ion, current is an AMD A10 which is an APU. Had that issue with both. Forcing 25fps vids to 60hz has "fixed" the issue though.
HTPC: Motherboard: Asus F2A85-V, CPU: AMD A10 6800K, RAM: Kingston XMP BEAST 16GB, Samsung 840 EVO 250GB, LG CH12NS30 Blu-Ray drive, Samsung, and WD various 2 and 3TB for storage, Windows 8.1, one for all remote/FLIRC, Logitech z906 surround system.

Yeah ok. I did try forcing 50Hz 25fps vids to 60Hz like you have but then i found what looks like 3:2 pulldown judder instead. Playing the video at its native 50Hz 25fps is a lot smoother when its working correctly.
