You could try to add these lines (marked with XXX) to recording.c's
cRecordings::Load() function and see whether there are cases where
REC logs some string, but NAM doesn't:

bool cRecordings::Load(bool Deleted)
{
  Clear();
  bool result = false;
  char *cmd = NULL;
  asprintf(&cmd, FINDCMD, VideoDirectory, VideoDirectory, Deleted ? "*" DELEXT : "*" RECEXT);
  FILE *p = popen(cmd, "r");
  if (p) {
     char *s;
     while ((s = readline(p)) != NULL) {
           dsyslog("REC: '%s'", s); //XXX
           cRecording *r = new cRecording(s);
           dsyslog("NAM: '%s'", r->Name()); //XXX
           if (r->Name())
              Add(r);
           else
              delete r;
           }
     pclose(p);
     Sort();
     result = Count() > 0;
     }
  else
     Interface->Error("Error while opening pipe!");
  free(cmd);
  return result;
}
