Well as I am that one such user with one such card I can only tell that I know have a TT-1500 in the exact same machine in the exact same slot and I don't see random memory corruptions to happen and the machine has including 3 dvb cards an uptime of 1 month now. With the asus it was usually crashing after 4 days of continuous usage. So either the driver is buggy, the card's hardware is or it is triggering a bug on my hardware that no other card triggers. And well it could of course be that no one uses the asus p7131 in a long term setup. I mean the dibcom dongles all work fine if you just don't want to use them for more then just a flick. A way to tell the truth could be to record exactly what works under which circumstances / hardware / how long things were tested. I bought the asus back then because it was said to be fully working/supported in the above wiki page ... so your mileage may vary.
