This was interesting...

Raised this as a bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1609169) and one of the 
maintainers came back to me saying mythtv in Xenial does use libtag1v5 and did 
I have any other ppa's that could have caused the problem? 

Long story short (see bug report for long story) for some reason the upgrade 
didn't upgrade libtag1 (though why I don't know - it wasn't a dependency on 
any of the other ppa's I had enabled). 

Solution was to uninstall mythtv (apt remove) and then I installed kodi and 
then mythtv and everything started working again. The interesting bit was that 
when I was removing mythtv the libtag1c2a and libtag1c2a-vanilla were both 
marked as still from the trusty repository.

Anyway, hope this helps anyone else who has a similar issue.
