Why?
I mean: How is FFmpeg (or the FFV1 encoder) supposed to know 
that your v4l input is interlaced? (And why shouldn't your 
S-VHS recording be low-resolution progressive?)
Maybe I miss something but in this case please explain.

Doesn't removing "-flags +ilme+ildct" from your h264 
command line produces the same output wrt interlacing 
as above command line?
Doesn't adding it to the ffv1 command line solve your 
issue?
