In addition to the flakiness of the merged clips, there’s a bunch of documented limitations to Merged clips which pretty much should rule them out as a method of working with dual system audio. The list below is directly from the user manual. When it says a merged clip cannot be “adjusted” that includes adding or adjusting a filter. Be forewarned.
The only solution I’ve come up with is something suggested by a Cow user: have Pluraleyes copy the media to create all new self contained clips. Obviously, not an ideal solution.
Merged Clips limitations
The Replace Footage command does not work.Attaching Adobe Story scripts, and then analyzing speech to text is not supported.
Full audio channel mapping control in the merged clip is not supported.
Merged clip audio results in mono track audio only.Final Cut Pro XML and AAF interchange formats are not supported.Auto-sync using audio waveforms, free-run timecode, time-of-day timecode, AUX timecode, or separate audio timecode is not supported.
Reveal in Adobe Bridge is not supported.Once created, the merged clip cannot be re-synchronized, or adjusted. You must make a new merged clip.
Adjusting contents of a merged clip is not supported. However, if a particular component clip is deleted, the merged clip may be relinked.
Merged clips or parts of previously merged clips cannt be used to remerge or make a new merged clip. Only component clips may be used

Are you rendering with CUDA? Recently I had a project that gave me lots of random glitches (mostly on stills) and the only solution was to output with “software only”.

Do yourself a favor and read Walter Biscardi’s article on Premiere “Gotchas”. It’s specifically for Final Cut switchers and will save you a lot of frustration.

Thank you for clearing that up! One more question for you: is it possible to bring my media encoder presets into the new CC media encoder?
Thanks!

I’m really stoked about the new track targeting functionality. Thank you Adobe!!

If you’re used to final cut, PP’s track selection scheme is infuriating. Seems completely idiotic. It’s actually kinda forced me into being a drag and drop editor, which is not my preference. I’ve tried all the available keyboard shortcuts but finally gave up.
For me it was NOT a smooth transition, but once I worked out all those gotchas I’ve really come to like it. Editing all those formats natively is fantastic.

Do yourself a favor and read Walter Biscardi’s blog about this very topic. I only wish I had read it before I made the switch. There are many, many gotchas to know about.
Here’s the link

Am I the only one who’s annoyed that you can’t drag or copy multiple clips from a sequence into a bin? That one is a major limitation for me – especially these days where I’m using plural eyes, which brings in synced clips as a timeline. Sometimes while reviewing footage I like to see it in a timeline then move selects into a selects bin. Not anymore – I end up just leaving everything in a sequence.
