No, that seems silly. The DVB-S2 card works for DVB-S also. It should be able to use all the cards. Though you can't ask a DVB-S card to tune to DVB-S2, that's all the limitation it poses.

I know DVB-S2 cards can do DVB-S that's the reason to force VDR to use DVB-S only cards for DVB-S before the DVB-S2 ones, which if you want a DVB-S2 channels, so is your DVB-S2 cards free.
But one should get a way to tell VDR no to try to tune DVB-S2 channels on DVB-S card.
You can do that. In fact the application should do a DVBFE_GET_INFO. This will query the capability of that specific driver. Based on the driver capabilities, issue a tuning request. That way a tune will be attempted only on the capable device.
It is a simple check, though.
Reinhard,
The patched version doesn't look at the device capability flags, before issuing a tune ? Or is something else wrong/missing ?
