[mythtv-users] Recording two adjacent programs not working

I'm surprised a search doesn't show much coverage of this so it must be
an unusual bug I am encountering.   My myth slave frontend, with a pvr-250
in it, is refusing to record two adjacent programs, even if they are
on the same channel.    The master backend has an hd3000, and I have not
yet run into it trying to do this.   When I have adjacent programs I
get this diagnostic:

As can be seen, I am not requesting early start/finish on either show, though
I do have a standard minute of extension in the global setup, which I
was told is stripped when programs are adjacent.   The Stargate I lost was
on later, so I noticed it and manually recorded it.  (Oddly, I had to do
it manually because it was declaring it to be a repeat, when in fact it
was just the 2nd airing that evening -- technically the next morning -- of
a brand new show.  Is the 2nd airing viewed as a repeat?)

But tonight I lost the new show Numb3rs, and I am not sure it is airing
again.  (Possibly it is on Friday, the descriptons are different)

Oddly, it also recorded the Banff show twice thought the titles and
subtitles appear to be identical.   Not sure why on that either.
