I think I understand what you mean, but does the fact that, until Myth
receives the monday info it schedules the saturday show and then
after receiving the monday info it reschedules to monday, not mean it
matches them as being in the same week? And does then next saturday
scheduling the show even though it was recorded last monday, not mean
it sees them as belonging to different weeks?

In Mythweb I only see when last the rule was active in recording a
show. The start/end moment of the week is a bit misty. I always
assumed the week starts at the moment of the first recording with the
rule.
