1. So for example using cardX.
2. This card gets tuned to channel C1 by VDR.
Once it loses the lock and there is an ongoing recording VDR commits suicide 
and hopes the problem fixes magically (maybe vdr-launch-script reloads 
drivers ...) but it does not.
3. You kill VDR and run
tzap C1

That also does not lock.
But
tzap C2
tzap C1
does make it lock.

How should VDR know, it need to lock another frequency first to re-get a lock?

This clearly is a driver/hw bug. And you can only fix it by modifying the 
driver.
So you best report this to the linuxtv-dvb mailinglist and attach more info:
exact used hardware, dmesg logs, ...
