Yes, there is an order*** in which the rules are applied and once a rule 
matches, /it/ will handle the episode.  So, since your timeslot 
recording rule was applied first (as timeslot rules are applied earlier 
than any time rules to allow you to record all episodes at "Low 
Quality", for example, but record the episode in a specific timeslot at 
"High Quality"), it prevented the "any time" rule from recording it.

***That's a complex-enough order, I don't feel like describing it in 
detail.  Fortunately, section 12 of the HOWTO does it for me: 
http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-12.html (whole section--meaning 
all the way through 12.6, inclusive).
