Do not know. 
I do not think this was tested as special case.

I wonder that THE SAME cursor fails on the second GetMEdia()...

If you move to record 2 and then back to 1
Does GetMEdia works again ?

In theory this MUST work.
If some bug exists then we need fix it.
Better to make sure that this works in 2.0
