There are rumors that jobs aren't being started for the 2nd recording 
with back-to-back recordings.

Perhaps you're not exiting mythfrontend nicely, but instead letting it 
get killed?  Start up mythfrontend, queue up some playlist, then exit 
mythmusic and exit mythfrontend--using the EXIT key, and selecting to 
exit (don't use the shut down or reboot options you may have).  Then go 
back in and see if it remembers things better.
