This would suggest to me that the CLUT was being written over by the
GsSortClear() call.
This happened to me with the simple ball bounding demo which came with
the Yaroze. That demo work fine in NTSC but as the CLUT was stored just
below the second video buffer it was overwritten when using the larger
buffers of MODE_PAL. 

Check the position of the CLUT with timtool.
