I'm seeing this too and I'm also running a recent svn (8906). For me 
it's consistent on all recordings.

After a day of looking into it the best I can tell is for some cases 
myth isn't connecting the ivtv encoder to a ring buffer. I posted a 
note about this - check the dev archives for the subject "null tvchain 
in TVRec::TuningNewRecorder". So far I haven't figured out a fix and my 
post hasn't drawn any guidance.
