Ah this was filed against the wrong source package and lost.
That cron job has been dropped since then with current builds.

Title:
mythvideo's cronjob assumes root can access mythtv tv's home directory
Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I mount mythtv's home directory using Kerberized NFS. The local root
user is unable to access /home (unless root first kinits, of course).
The result is that /etc/cron.hourly/mythvideo does not work for me.
However, there is no good reason for it to fail and the fix is simple:
simply fold the if into the su! The following works for me:
#!/bin/sh
#Hourly massive update to ensure users see graphics coming in for upcoming
recordings and current recordings
su mythtv -c '
if [ -f "$HOME/.mythtv/config.xml" ]; then
/usr/bin/python /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/jamu.py -MW >>
"/var/lo\
g/mythtv/jamu.log";
fi'
