I just tested this on a FireTV 4K stick with v0-108. It's more like you
mentioned it should behave. There is a brief pause then continue as it
passes the "end time" established when you stated viewing a currently
recording program. Skipping forward backward do reset the new "end time".
This was against a v30 backend.

However, back on the Shield tv it's more likely that the playing freezes
instead of brief pauses when the "end time" is reached. If you skip
backwards from the freeze, it shows current and end time and the end time
remains the same as it passes that time.  Very different behavior.
