What you can try to switch the polarity in CCDC configuration. The CCDC
processes a pre-determined number of lines and if the hsync polarity
configuration is wrong, it will likely end up missing one. This should be
especially easy to misconfigure with serial busses but this isn't the
problem here as you have a parallel bus. You could try switching the vsync
polarity, too.

There are probably better informed people around, I've never used the
parallel interface (except with the CCP2 / CSI-2 receivers).
