OK, I dug around a bit more and found some discussions from 2007 on the subject. To summarize what I read, it appears that apple uses a non-NTSC-standard dot clock.

NTSC is an analog TV standard and doesn't specify any "dot clock" at all. Apple does not follow the NTSC standard in other areas. Most importantly it doesn't have 2 interlaced fields. As a result many digital TVs won't show the video coming from Apple, for example my Dell monitor using the TV input and another no-name LCD TV (car) monitor.
