In the past I found the internal history would let me down regularly when a download had previously stalled, while get_iplayer assumed I had got it fully downloaded ok. Other things were frustrating me as well, like --subdir-format "<episodeshort>" used to use the value of "<episode>", even though the "info" for a programme showed them as different.
It's unlikely, though not impossible, that rtmpdump would return successfully without fully downloading a programme, and that would be even less likely to occur if you kill it when it stalls. If that were anything other than a rare circumstance, I think we would have heard more about it here. Make sure you don't have an obsolete or broken version of rtmpdump. A few people have had trouble with rtmpdump writing to a directory on a network share that is used as a hot folder for another application, but rtmpdump should fail properly in those cases.
As for <episodeshort>, if you can document an instance of what you described, I'll take a look at it. I've never noticed a case where <episodeshort> and <episode> are the same, but the --info display said otherwise.
