Nope, that wasn't the problem; the check for table id 50 is done before
even entering ParseDVBEIT (where the debugoutput was generated);

Which EIT Data is available on what transport seems slightly fishy on
Astra; on the one hand we get an "all EIT on one transport" flag, on the
other EIT is present right on the transport a channel is received on.
Turning off the check for LinkageType == 4 gets EIT updates working.

It's VERY nice to have since there's a couple of channels xmltv info
isn't available for. Being able to fill these from the DVBEIT tables
makes these channels much mor usable.

Trial and error show that I need to tune to a couple of different
transports to get a full complement of EID data for the  channels I
don't have xmltv info for. I've just set up a couple of manual daily
recordings:
5 min each, autoexpire, record new+overwrite old, keep 1 episode. 
These should keep the guide data uptodate until the greatly anticipated
feature: "walk transports and collect EIT data in background with idle
receivers" gets implemented :-)
