Exactly. See:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Repairing_the_Seektable
(note, also, that this is what Richard was suggesting with "mpeg2->mpeg2
lossless transcode with reindexing"--he didn't mean to actually
transcode, but to use mythtranscode --buildindex to rebuild the seek table).
Or, as Ken suggested, just put the concatenated recording into MythVideo
videos section.
