NETV's official reply just came in:

You are correct that the Charlie Rose show had one portion from a previous episode. This was unintentional but could not be avoided. To make a long story short., the satellite feed from New York to Washington DC failed halfway through. Rather than not provide a program, PBS edited an interview from the previous night.
Later that evening, a full program was uplinked from New York to Washington and stations that broadcast Charlie Rose in the later evening hours had the full show. No doubt this is why Iowa had the complete version of the program.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but it was simply a matter of technical difficulties getting the better of us.

There was one hour between the cut on NETV and the lost segment on IPTV. I don't know. It sounds a bit awkward to me. Do they not get these feeds well ahead of time?
Anyway, this is the official answer, so I'll leave it at that.
