Hmm. I'll admit I didn't look too closely at your command line, but I 
don't think there's anything in there that causes interlacing. Try this:

mencoder mf://*.jpg -mf type=jpg:fps=8 -ovc copy -o output.avi

If that doesn't work, then please provide enough of your source jpeg 
files to reproduce the problem. Make a tar file of them and upload it to:
ftp://ftp.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/incoming/
Then send the filename as a reply to this message.
