[Q] Does the Ouya Mod Collection REALLY not force 720p?

I've been reading that despite the existence of the option to force 720p on the Ouya using the Mod Collection, the system still stays at 1080p; this is even reflected in XBMC/Kodi, where after restarting in 720p, it shows that the system is displaying at 1080p.

However, when I set the system to 720p in the Mod Collection, my TV does indeed say it's at 720p, and the temperature of the system is significantly lower on a regular basis. Not only that, but when I use Elgato Game Capture HD, it sees the Ouya as a 720p/60fps device, and everything records as such.

Was there some kind of Mod Collection update that got 720p working, or am I missing something? I kept hearing that 720p just didn't work on the Ouya without a custom ROM, but all signs point to it working for me, and I don't have a custom ROM installed. Did I just misunderstand?
