If at all possible, try to use the terminal with an era appropriate monitor, and see if you have the same problem. My guess is that you will be able to tweak the controls on the monitor a bit to make it stable. My guess is the converter likely expects a signal exactly conforming to standard, and the terminal just can't/won't do this.

Ditto. The sync signal may be a non-standard waveform, plus it is likely that the video is progressive scan at a horizontal rate close to PAL, rather than interlaced. Both of these things are likely to confuse your video capture device if it is looking for a standard PAL signal.
