Follow-up to this problem. I solved it by purging all mythtv packages,
and then searching for and removing any mythtv related files (other
than mythconverg database and .mythtv directory in my user home).
Reinstalled the packages and now have metadata bliss. Problem was
likely a python-bindings conflict from an old, partially removed
version. Why the movie lookup worked but not the TV I have no idea.
