When I press R/r while in live tv viewing mode, mythtv will respond by
saying "Recording ..." and fades away.  No icons or any info are
displayed showing tv is actively being recorded.    (Think I'm finding
out later, mythtv schedules the entire 30 minute + section for recording
or something, but I usually find pressing R/r not doing any recording.)

Pressing R/r again, simply shows "Recording ..." again.
From mythtv documentation, R or r should toggle start/stop recording.
(cycles through types?)
Think your interpretation of the documentation is off a bit... From http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-11.html#ss11.1 section "LiveTV Browse Mode"

R/r  - Toggle recording of current program (cycles through types)

Says nothing about start/stop. ;) If you look through the code it becomes quite obvious that "start" and "stop" are not the "recording types" to which they're referring--especially with the nice comment explaining how it works. (The hard part is finding the right code if you're not a programmer. ;)

Below is the comment documenting the ToggleRecord() function from libs/libmythtv/programinfo.cpp (which is eventually called in response to pressing the TOGGLERECORD button):

/** \fn ProgramInfo::ToggleRecord()
*  \brief Cycles through recording types.
*
*   If the program recording status is kNotRecording,
*   ApplyRecordStateChange(kSingleRecord) is called.
*   If the program recording status is kSingleRecording,
*   ApplyRecordStateChange(kFindOneRecord) is called.
*   <br>etc...
*
*   The states in order are: kNotRecording, kSingleRecord, kFindOneRecord,
* kWeekslotRecord, kFindWeeklyRecord, kTimeslotRecord, kFindDailyRecord,
*     kChannelRecord, kAllRecord.<br>
*   And: kOverrideRecord, kDontRecord.
*
*   That is if you the recording is in any of the first set of states,
*   we cycle through those, if not we toggle between kOverrideRecord and
*   kDontRecord.
