For example, some 30 minute recordings of the Twilight Zone show lengths from 43 minutes to as much as 10 and a half hours.  As I watch, the time progresses normally to 30 minutes when the recording stops.  On the other hand, the length displays correctly when I edit the recording.

They all seem to be from the PVR-250 and PVR-500 era, I haven't found any recordings that I know to be from Firewire or HDHomeRun with this problem yet.  Not all of my MPEG encoder recordings show the problem, though.  What should I look for to troubleshoot this, or what information should I try to gather so I can write a useful bug report?  I feel like I don't have much solid information to work with right now.
