Same problem here. 

I looked over ve_xvid.c and fixed some small bugs.
Now cbr, 2pass and fixedquant work correct for me und reach the desired
bitrate. But I can't fix the config bug described above. :-(

Maybe someone else can fix it?
Another solution would be to change the config of ve_xvid.c. I would
prefer the ve_lavc options.

fixedqaunt -> vqscale
max_quantizer -> vqmax
mode=2pass-1/2 -> vpass=1/2
...  

Bye,
Markus
