Curious about recent recording oddity

Okay, I'm still a little confused about some recent recordings made Tivo has
made.

I have singer Sara Evans in my WishLists, set to record "First run & repeats."
This past week, she appeared in a special devoted to the greatest country songs
ever.

My Tivo set about to record nearly a dozen different airings of this same exact
special, all within a few days of each other. Now, I do understand that I have
Sara's WishList set to pick up repeats, but shouldn't all of the extra showings
been eliminated under the "aired in the past 28 days" exception?

I can't say I've ever encountered a situation exactly like this before.

This indicates that the guide data didn't make explicit enough for TiVo
that they were the same show, so TiVo recorded them all just to be sure.
There's an internal identifier used for this but many channels are less
than fastidious about using it accurately.
