Only available channels should get added automatically - radio
channels, text channels and encrypted channels are all ignored.

Are you saying that you have channels declared with audio and
video PIDs which don't actually exist? That sounds a bit odd...

Anyhow, the real fix here is to fix the bug with tuning to channels
that are not available. I believe there are plans to do that in the
future.
