I don't think so, because VDR only uses the system time and doesn't
look directly into the hardware clock. If the recording ends because
the end time has been reached, that condition should still hold after
the recording has ended and VDR decides whether to delete the timer.

Could you throw in a few debug outputs, so that you can follow VDR's
"thoughts" when it decides not to delete the timer? I'd really like
to find out what causes this, because it wasn't designed that way,
and it works just fine here.
