Ok, looks like the problem is in the firmware.
I tried the firmware from 2002-06-23 with driver 2002-12-08 and VDR 1.1.20
and it replayed new RTL recordings just fine.

Further tests showed that the problem was introduced between 2002-09-18 and
2002-09-19, which is apparently the date when the firmware switched from

 254324 Apr 15  2002 Root

to

 254444 Aug 30 12:50 Root

Since I have been using this new firmware for quite a while and it always
worked fine with recordings from RTL I still assume that RTL must have
changed something in their data format that triggers a bug in the new firmware.

So, once again, we're at a point where we have to hope that one of the
driver developers will find the time to fix this in the firmware...
