 |Looks good...

 |# xdpyinfo | grep DGA
 |    XFree86-DGA
...
 |startx reports:
 |(--) S3: Local bus LAW is 0xFF000000
 |and 'fxtv -debug startup' reports the same thing.  But with -debug it
 |also says "sysctl: unknown oid 'hw.bt848'".  I'm not sure if this is
 |interesting.

It's just dumping this for the debug output, so it really doesn't amount to
much.  The reason is 2.2.8 has v1.2.7 of the bt848 driver, and sysctls were
added at v1.3.3 which was added months ago in 3.0-RELEASE and 3.0-current.
I didn't know that when I added this call.  I'd suggest updating your
driver, but I don't remember any changes made that would affect this
problem.  

...but of course I've been out of the loop for a while, so you might grab a
newer version just for kicks.  Not too sure where the driver pkg lives
nowadays, but here's one place you can grab the appropriate files:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/sys/pci/brooktree848.c
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/sys/pci/brktree_reg.h
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/sys/i386/include/ioctl_bt848.h

 |Like I said, dtv works, and it definitely uses DGA, so this is all
 |pretty strange.

Yes.  Pretty strange.  Nothing coming to mind here.

 |XSERVER: 'The XFree86 Project, Inc' v3320,  Protocol Verson 11.0
 |         Screen Res = 1024x768, DefDepth = 15; NumScreens = 1
 |         Bitmap Unit/BitOrder/Pad = 32/LSBFirst/32, Image ByteOrder = LSBFirst

Ok, so you're running 1024x768, 15 bits per pixel.  For kicks, might try
other resolutions and depths (16, 24).  Also, try moving the TV window
to the top left and then the bottom of the screen.  Scan your entire
desktop.  See anything resembling video?

 |XF86DGAQueryVersion() succeeded - vers = 1.00
 |   BaseAddr = 0xff000000, Pitch = 1024, BankSize/RamSize = 2097152/2097152

Looks reasonable.

What S3 card is this?
