The timer was started on a full device, which isn't a good idea as all the budget cards too can receive the channel. But even after the timer was running on a full card, I have thought VDR would swap the timer to another card, if the full card was needed for a channel it only could provide. This did not happen now. Why not?

As to why the recording started on the primary device, while there were budget cards free at the time, I guess you'll need to do some debugging in cDvbDevice::ProvidesChannel(). Here on my system recordings only use the primary device if all others are already in use.
I can confirm this bug. I have the same setup with two DVB-S cards, and it also happened here in the past with vdr-1.3.x If I have two timers for 20:15 I have to ensure that the timer for the full featured card starts before the timer of the budget card.
Btw, could it be possible to have the ability to manually choose the device for records(timers), live watching and stuff ? Multiple cards handling would be more granular.
Do you think it's a good idea ?
