I can second to this. I've also started to have bogus EIT data coming 
through and it has started very recently.

On the other hand, I've upgraded kernel regularly, weather has been 
quite bad in here and also there have been changes in Finnish DVB 
network so cannot really say if these are causing the problem.

However, this looks like exactly the same as earlier when there were 
bigger problems in Myth PES packet handling.. only that now it is not so 
frequent.
