Cool.  I'm compiling right now.  I took a look at your changes, and it
looks like it should do the trick.  I originally did a quick fix for
myself so stuff would run correctly while I tracked this down, but it
looks like you're doing some better checks.  Thanks for the quick
turnaround.

I had a small thought on this today, and was thinking that perhaps you
could have scene change detection only kick in once the logo disappears.
Obviously there is not consistency between different channels on how/when
they display their logos, I frequently see that the logo on at least one
or two shows disappears a few seconds before the commercial break actually
starts.  So, perhaps the logo could be used as a trigger to initiate the
scene detection.  That way, you're not running both detection methods
unnecessarily at the same time, but still using the information from both.
I'll pay a little more attention to the logos, but I think it is similar
on the other side of commercials, where the show comes back on, and then
the logo reappears a few seconds later.
