Resolve 16.2 mangles chroma

Is there a way to get Resolve to not mangle the chroma of a video with non square pixels? (I'm guessing the non square pixels are the problem)

I have a NTSC 16:9 enhanced DVD (720x480), I converted it to a .mov containing 8-bit 420 H.264 (crf 1) with VD2 so I can mess with the grade in Resolve. I put it into Resolve into a 720x480 NTSC DV 16:9 timeline, do some color grading and then output it as uncompressed 10bit 422 YUV in a .mov and I get this crap.

Here's the input (scaled to 2x by madVR)

Here's the output (scaled to 2x by madVR)

I've tried other output formats, like Cineform and got the same thing. I tried a custom 720x480 timeline, but that doesn't seem to stick. It keeps reverting back to 720x480 NTSC DV 16:9.

Are there some settings I'm missing (I'm very far from a Resolve guru) or is Resolve just broken?
