[mythtv] mythtranscode and "commflagged"

I've just started playing with transcoding of television (HD-3000)
shows, so for now I'm just doing it manually on selected shows, to
play with the quality settings and seeing what kind of disk space
savings are realized.
I noticed something about commflagging that I think is a minor bug:
- I have my show set to be auto-commflagged after recording.
This sets the "commflagged" value for the show in the
"recorded" table, and I see the commflagged icon in the
"Watch Recordings" UI. If I try to skip around commercials
when playing back the recording, everything behaves as
expected.
- Next, in "Watch Recordings", I pick the show and start
transcoding with the "Job Options" popup menu. Transcoding
completes (verified with the mythbackend.log and a change in
filesize). However, the "commflagged" value is still
non-zero (reflected in the "Watching Recordings" UI, and
also present in the "recorded" table).
But if I try to skip commercials when playing back the
recording, the OSD says "not flagged".
Should mythtranscode be clearing the "commflagged" value of a
transcoded show, or is recording playback not quite working with
commercial-skip on a transcoded recording?
I only just noticed this, so I haven't tried re-flagging the
transcoded program, but I imagine that probably puts things right
again, unless commflagging is somehow sensitive to the encoding of a
recording.
Thanks,
