We've had this with lots of shows- Ashes to Ashes being one example.
We get notified of a ercording clash by the V+ box, but when you check the planned recordsings you can see that the clash is because the box is wanting to record the same show twice at the same time (like you are describing). We have found that if yo try and delete one of the recordings then both of them go from the planned recordings list. So you have to leave the clash or you don't get anything recorded.

I think this is down to bad data in the EPG.

Sometimes we'll get one record, and the other fail, and if you delete the failed one the good one goes too!

Along the same lines is where several shows dropped off series link- presumably because the EPG got a new entry for forthcoming episodes of a show rather than a continuation of the previous episodes.
