I'm afraid I wasn't able to obtain any debugging information on what was going on here as the yum has updated ivtv_xdriver and mythtv (and a fair number of other packages) and this no longer seems to be occurring and it is all working very smoothly indeed. If I every see a reoccurrence I will of course try this before posting back here.
