Some progress to report. I can get the X server to start now with:
Option "ForceMonitors" "notv"
I saw some Ubuntu bugs about a similar problem and figured I'd try their solution.
This of course defeats my purposes so I need to figure out now how to get both crt1 and tv working and mirroring. Using "ForceMonitors" "crt1,tv" and "DesktopSetup" "clone" just gets me back to the "no screens" problem.
X -configure's crash still happens and may be a separate issue, but I'm not sure it'll directly affect this setup.
EDIT: "DesktopSetup" "mirror" is what I should have had. X will now start, but no picture on the CRT. So my quest has morphed from a "drat, X won't start" to a "how do I get the blasted TV-Out to work." If anybody has a working xorg.conf to share, much appreciated. Here's a device section that doesn't work:
