I work around it by saving my position before seeking, escape out of playback, then hit "play from bookmark", then seeking works. After a few minutes it is no longer accurate however. Otherwise, the down arrow on my remote jumps ahead 10 minutes, which seems to line up with ad-breaks on 3 News, so just starting from the beginning again isn't so hard.

That is possible, I guess, but it seems strange that it would do that
for H264 only (perhaps other digital? any DVB-S users seeing/not
seeing this?), and only while the file is still being written. I
haven't looked at the source yet, but I suspect it'll be a bit too
complicated to get my head around quickly...

Perhaps also of interest would be if anyone is using DVB-T and *not*
seeing this?
