No.  Season and episode number are not available to use for recordings.

MythTVfs is not a solution.  It is not designed for human readable 
output, but rather puts all the metadata in the title for one specific 
external program to access it.  The format is uses is:

{SERIES_TITLE}{AIR_DATE}{EPISODE_TITLE}{RECORD_DATE}{CHANNEL}{DURATION}{DESCRIPTION}FILE.mpg

and with the description in there, I'm honestly surprised it doesn't conflict with the 255 character limit more often.

MythFS 
(http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/branches/release-0-23-fixes/mythtv/contrib/exports/mythfs.py) 
is intended for human readable output, and is compatible with the format 
strings used by mythlink.pl.
