I really think it must have been mythfilldatabase that was
adding the channels; I hadn't run anything else between the
first database dump I quoted and the second...

Ah, thanks very much - I've done that and it seems to work fine
now.  I also trimmed the *.xmltv file for my RadioTimes video
source so it only tries to grab the listings for channels I can
actually get, which seems to reduce the run time of
mythfilldatabase from 2 hours to 5 minutes :)
