Is there any safe set of MPEG-2 encoding parameters (using TMPGencX4) that can be used to encode a 720x480 16:9 60fps progressive video to MPEG-2 that can someday be authored to a fake blu-ray disc using free/consumer-grade software, burned to red-laser DVD5/9, and have a reasonable chance of actually being playable on any random blu-ray player?
As far as I can tell, 480p60 is the format the industry just kind of forgot about. MP@ML only recognizes 480p24, 480p30, and 480i60. MP@H14 goes out of its way to recognize 480p24, 480p30, 720p24, 720p30, and 720p60 at a higher bitrate, but says nothing about 480p60 at *any* bitrate. MP@HL doesn't even acknowledge the existence of anything less than 720p.
If I start with MP@ML, then tell TMPGEncX4 to encode it as 480p60 (within the bitrate limits otherwise imposed by MP@ML), can I feel reasonably confident that a near-future Blu-Ray player will handle it just fine without choking on it?
It seems like common sense that it could, but when I checked Google, I found lots of results suggesting that people trying to author HDV-SD (480p60) encountered endless grief. However, I also kind of got the impression that their problems weren't due to Blu-Ray per se, and were mainly due to braindead authoring software that didn't realize the player could handle it directly and insisted on transcoding it *anyway*.

Hollywood is in the same position as Shiite Clerics in Iran -- they've got the law and courts on their side, but common citizens hate them... and the backlash is coming.

480p60 isn't compliant with blu-ray specs , and I doubt it ever will be - It's not a common format for acquisition , broadcast or delivery. Source material never comes as 480p60
Now some players can play out of spec material but I wouldn't count on it. Feel free to test some coasters.
