I wrote the guys at intelligent assistance, I think it can’t be done as of now:
“I can see part of the problem. When you import the MP4 to FCP X it does not read the metadata from the associated files into the MOV that FCP X wants for this type of footage.
When FCP X ingests the GoPro footage from the cards, it reads the timecode from the associated files. While FCP X will read the mP4 directly, it loses all the associated metadata, resetting the timecode.
Premiere Pro handles this metadata in a different way than FCP X. FCP X cannot read Premeire Pro’s method, but Premiere Pro can read FCP X’s method.
If you imported the media to FCP X from the original card, it would be rewrapped to a MOV file format (FCP X’s preferred format and to which is rewraps almost everything on ingest, wrapping in metadata with it.) Then I think FCP X will have issues reconnecting as it is expecting an MP4 and it will have a MOV. It won’t like that and most likely will refuse to reconnect.
Abut the only suggestion I can make is to ingest the material into FCP X from the original cards, then have Premiere Pro reconnect the project to that new media. Then do the XML translation.”

Did you encode the files to Prores before importing? Or are you using the AVCHD files in a Prores sequence?
Alternately, could it simply be a playback issue?
Recently I had trouble with AVCHD but found a pending update in the App store which specifically solved errors with AVCHD in Final Cut. I don’t know if it will be available for 10.5.8 though.
Also, when exporting using “Current Settings”, try with “Make movie self compressed” and “Recompress all frames” are both checked.

Thank, I’m talking to the post house to see if they can pinpoint the problem, which is probably my system (I accidentally updated mac os x and alot of stuff has been failing, but I didn’t notice the update until today).
At least you’ve been able to help me confirm that it should work. Thanks everyone.

Hi,
I’m back at the office and was able to check. Everything looks ok in the quicktime info.
I don’t know how it was created. I received it from a post production company. I’ll ask them, but it maybe an Avid compatibility issue. I’m working on Mavericks and I’ve had a few problems already.
