If I understand you correctly, yes.  The same power rule can match
multiple programs at the same time on different channels.  There can
also be an override rule for each of those programs.  However, there
should only ever be one override rule for any indiviual program
(chanid/starttime).

That could work.  Don't you still have the new recordid from when the
override was created?  You could just use that with the first query.
