Previously dvdauthor defaulted to NTSC if no video format was
specified. However, spumux was assuming default parameters more
appropriate for PAL.

This didn’t make any sense to me. Now, you can build the entire
DVDAuthor suite with options for defaulting the video
format, depending on what you pass to ./configure:

    --enable-default-video-format=ntsc
    --enable-default-video-format=pal

or neither for no hard-coded default (which is what you’re currently
getting).

On top of this, you can also configure a systemwide default setting
in /etc/video_format, and/or a per-user setting in
~/.config/video_format and/or the VIDEO_FORMAT environment variable.

The latest item specified in the above list takes precedence. For more
details, see my proposal

I don’t see how this could ever have made any sense. The code was never
designed to deal properly with a mix of options specified on the
command line and the XML file—you were only ever supposed to use one or
the other.
