Can anyone suggest a script I can wite to monitor the backend log file looking for these PMT messages, and when found, stop and restart the current recording?

This is a total wild-ass guess but do you have quick tuning enabled on your tuners? I have an OTA ATSC setup and get similar issues when I use full tuning but they go away when I enable quick tuning. You do this is on the mythtv-setup inputs screen. Tuning speed shouldn't affect your analog channels so this may be a red herring but it's easy to try and you have little to lose.
