This seems to be a problem for some - although not all - transport 
stream files.

No, that's not correct at all.  If you run 
"testMPEG2TransportStreamTrickPlay", you will see that the resulting 
Transport Stream files (for fast-forward or reverse play) are OK. 
However, their bitrate is significantly larger than than the original 
file, and that may cause problems (e.g., network packet loss) on some 
networks/systems.
