Yes and no.

Myth will expire the show and mark it to _allow_ re-recording.  This is 
identical to your manually deleting the show with "Delete and allow 
re-record".

That means if the show was recorded from a one-time rule (Find One or 
This Showing or ...), it will not re-record (because the rule was 
removed after it succeeded) unless you have another rule that will also 
match that show/episode.  If, however, the show was recorded from a 
multi-showing rule (Always record...) and you haven't yet deleted the 
rule, it will be re-recorded.
