However, splitstream should be able to catch this with sequence 
mismatches, no? My guess is that these other shows are leftover 
chunks from previous recordings (don't forget that TiVo is changing 
channels when you aren't aware of it) - shouldn't they have 
significantly different sequence (counting large sequence) numbers?

For the record, my box is upgraded but has not been TiVo-mad'd or MFS 
Tool'd. It is running 2.0.1. I haven't been able to get reasonably 
consistent extractions from any of the tools, but I don't have any 
problems with the TiVo itself.
