My working hypothesis is that mythweb refreshes faster than the data is populated / updated in the database hence the change is still technically to occur (though only probably a matter of milliseconds away from being done). For me a second refresh always returns the correct information.

Sort of.  MythWeb waits until it gets a reschedule message from the 
master backend, then it pulls the data and displays the page--unless 
your master backend is slow and the wait times out, in which case, it 
just displays the page (with information that will be outdated once your 
backend finally finishes the reschedule).

In Josu's case, it's likely that the DVB-S source has many more 
channels/scheduled programs, so rescheduling after a change affecting 
that source takes longer than changes affecting the DVB-T source.

To "fix":

(and, technically, there's an e) get faster hardware (CPU/hard drive or 
SSD/...) option you can take)
