[mythtv-users] Bizarre commercial skip behaviour

This has happened a few times, now, since upgrading to 0.21 (I ran 0.21
trunk version for some time without ever seeing it). I have commercial
flagging turned on but not auto-skip (not always reliable and I like
having control). While watching a show, I'll hit the skip button at the
beginning of a commercial and it will jump to the stored position in a
different, previously-watched show! By "previously-watched" I mean in
the same session; immediately before the one being watched. Good news
is that when I exit the show it jumps to, and go back to watching the
show I was trying to watch, it picks up where it left off and I can fast
forward from there. If I try it again, it does the exact same thing,
jumping to the exact same saved position in the same other show. Again,
it returns to where it left of when I restart the playback. Today when
it did it again, I tried playing the show again after it had finished
and then commercial skipping worked normally. In other words, the
problem keeps happening as long as I'm playing a show. Once the show
has played to the end (all positions cleared?) it plays (and skips)
normally.
As I said, it has done this a few times, now, but I don't know exactly
what triggers it. I'll try some combinations of
show-watching/commercial-skipping and see if I can reproduce it. I
don't have any flagged shows stored right now, but that will change
tomorrow.
