Yes, that's the default.

One of your earlier comments led me to believe you were talking about
future recordings only.  For the example you gave, this is the
expected behavior.  Once a program starts recording, its times are
fixed.  

FWIW, that mini-patch does fix a real bug and a variation of it will
be in my commit.  Thanks for inadvertently pointing it out.

This is because the recordings are no longer being recorded.  They
need to be restarted, but doing so runs them through the scheduling
process again.  The change I'm going to commit restores the ability to
change an in-progress end time, even with soft padding, so you'll be
able to resolve the conflict without restarting the backend.
