It might be the same or a closely relate issue.  

Basically, the current position and total recording length are
sometimes calculated using completely different methods.  Because of
bad logic, the current position is calculated to be greater than the
recording length.  The values are sanity checked before being
displayed in the OSD and the current position is capped so it isn't
greater than the recording length.  That's why you see "2:01:49 of
2:01:49".

The change I have pending sets one of the ways the current position is
calculated back to an older method.  According to Taylor Ralph, the
new method wasn't supposed to be used yet.
