What is the output of 'mythbackend --version'?

You are using a very old build of (I'm guessing here) 0.21-fixes. The
most recent backport to 0.21-fixes was earlier today. You really need
to update to the latest (or a much more recent) version of the fixes
branch and see whether you see the same behaviour.
