I get the exact same behavior.  The S12 will bleed across the empty time 
slot where there is no data.  If It ends at 1:00 mythweb will report the 
time correctly (even though it appears to run for an extra hour), if it 
ends after 1:00 than I will get the behavior you described.

Yes, and I hope they respond to this issue.
