Sorry for my delayed response, I live on the other side of the planet from you so I was sleeping.
I also did a quick internet search this morning and found that this issue has occurred with other types of PVR as well. There are suggestions that deleting the channel and rescanning has worked. Your scheduled recordings will be deleted and will have to be re-entered if you do that.
Is the service using DVB-T or DVB-T2? Apparently there have been some changes recently.
Do you have your 'OTA UK: Freeview' grabber enabled?
If you still want to try the trace: You need to trace 'tbl-eit' to see how the EPG gets processed.
You are obviously receiving some EPG data because you have all of the start dates/times, you just need to try to narrow down the possible reasons.
Once you have performed the OTA grab, load the log file (it could be fairly large) into your favourite text editor and search for the following: 'dtag 4D' and/or 'dtag 4E'
You should find something like this:

In my example, you can see that the first three characters are 'eng'. A few lines before this, you can also see the channel name.
Go through your log looking for channels that have EPG and channels that don't and look for the language code. Are they different? Even a minor difference like 'ENG' vs 'eng' may be relevant.
