OK,
So it seems nobody needs this feature. But, as i implemented it, i reply
to myself anyway.
I wrote a small patch for vdr-1.1.28 
X-archive-position: 2169
X-ecartis-version: Ecartis v1.0.0

This patch solves the above mentioned problem by using a special
GetNextActiveTimer method on a forced shutdown, which omits timers that
start earlier than wanted (time of shutdown (+EventTimeout)).

Disclaimer: Use at your own risk. If it does something undesirable 
            please inform me (So i can at least rescue my recordings of
	    next week ).
