Just joined, this is my first post but I’ve been a regular “lurker” for years.

Ran across this thread when dealing with the exact issue, and disappointed to see it’s still an unresolved bug all these years later on Premiere Pro 9.2.

But a pretty quick and easy work-around is to not use the Cross Dissolve Effect, but instead use the Pen tool to do a manual fade down on the outgoing clip, followed by doing the same (but fade up) the incoming clip. Not as fast as the adding a cross dissolve, but seems a bit easier than nesting sequences, compound clips, or the other suggestions I’ve seen here (all of which are solid, just a bit more effort I think).
