It's likely that when you updated the tags, the tagging program deliberately preserved 
the modification timestamp, I know EasyTag does this by default. As a result MythTV 
doesn't recognise that the files have altered in anyway and skips them in the scan.

The best solution would be to 'touch' all those files. Alternatively, if you've only 
modified a few files you can manually request mythmusic to recheck for album art 
track by track. Press E on a selected track to bring up the Metadata Editor, select the 
Album Artwork button, then press MENU, select Rescan for Images.
