No, it's a bug.  I've got a fix for it but haven't pushed it upstream yet.

Blue background usually means the decoder didn't detect a signal.  Are
you using the tuner input?  s-video?  composite?

Also, do you have ATSC or ClearQAM configured?  If so, it's possible
that MythTV is trying to use both the digital and analog inputs at the
same time (which you can avoid by putting both inputs into the same
input group).

It's also just possible that the driver is broken with MythTV.  I
haven't any cycles to test with MythTV, and lord knows that MythTV has
been known to expose bugs in other drivers that don't appear when
using other applications.
