Don't know, but you can work around the problem anyway by using
anacron instead of the mythtv scheduler. Anacron is like using cron
except you set the tv listings grabber and mythfilldatabase to run
daily without specifying a particular time. Create a shell script to
run these and put it in /etc/cron.daily/. That way anacron ensure it
will run whenever the machine turns itself back regardless of what
time of day it is.
