No ideas, but just a "me too". I've just upgraded to the latest 0.24-fixes and I now see this problem on all my recordings. Previously it was just on the HD channels that I was seeing it. It breaks bookmarks and skipping around for me which is annoying, but I've not had chance to investigate any further yet.  I'll try and do some digging this weekend if I get the chance.
