I get the same problem, seems to be down to the transcoding not clearing the
recordedmarkup table after a transcode.
I looked into the code briefly and seems to be to do with some of the
commercial flagging options, but I haven't finished my investigation yet.

also, I've had this problem since I first started doing autotranscode, so
it's not new.
I suspect it has to do with the commercial flagging settings in your DB may
have changed.
