The problem is that to the left of the channel name, there is also what looks like the letter "L". I figured out this is actually a progress bar character that LCDproc leaves there, apparently because the string of text that is being drawn over it is centered, but not the entire width of the display.
Since, as far as I can tell, Myth never uses the first line to display a progress bar, in the enclosed patch I simply skip the installation of this widget if there are 2 or fewer lines in the display. Perhaps it should never be initialized, I don't know; I only have this one type of display to test with.
Or, alternately, perhaps a string of exactly 16 (the display width) characters (space-padded) should be sent to LCDproc, to overwrite the unused progress bar.
