I think you are right. The 2 2/3 VSYNC lines are probably very close to
an acceptable timing for your TVs. And since everything is analog, only
a minor influence (temperature, humidity, position of cable etc.), might
make it possible or impossible for the TV to sync.

I can only guess, that the SC has also some minor (in your case
positive) influence on the signal. And that is just enough to make the
difference.
Anyway, I would try to add one more WSYNC.
Have fun!
