Sounds like bad listings data (possibly even listings data that breaks 
up the one show into multiple parts).

Are you saying these are valid duplicates?  See 
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Duplicate_matching , specifically, and note 
the Program ID section.  I'd guess they're actually /not/ duplicates 
(meaning not properly marked as duplicates).

Well that would only ever record the one showing you've selected (and 
miss any other parts/any other showings), so yeah, the above couldn't 
happen with a one-off recording rule.
