Arrgh!  Right after I said that, there was a tuner lock-up as Myth
attempted to record the next show.  When this happens, Myth fails
to record.  There is an entry in the various Myth databases, but when
attempting to play the show, the mpg file is not there.  As usual, the
stop-everything-myth (FE and BE), unplug/replug of the tuner and
restart of BE and FE fixes it and the first show records fine.  The
only difference I can see is that in the cases it fails, the active EIT
scan had alreday done its thing.  When doing this restart it went
straight to record and then the EIT scan was done as the recording had
already started.  Or maybe this is a wild goose chase...
