I don't think there is much you can do in this case.  The BBC has simply 
put those episodes in the wrong listings feed.  The episode metadata 
(view with --info) is correct, but not the listings used to populate the 
programme cache.  Searches are performed against the cache.

No.  That information isn't contained in the listings feeds.
