I’ve been going through this problem as well, although it is intermittent.

My workflow usually involves assembling the entire programme to tape and then using insert edit to do any fixes. In view of this, this problem is more of a problem if the bad edit happens during the first assemble. The programme will effectively have a flash frame of black at the beginning and also the clock will no longer be accurate. Depending on how fussy you are feeling you can sometimes get around this: first by re-inserting the clock; second, by modifying your sequence timecode to start one frame later, rolling the start point of your opening shot back by one frame and inserting the first shot back to the tape. As I’ve modified my sequence timecode, this edit and any other insert edits I go on to make will be on the right timecode in relation to the tape.

If my first assemble was OK and I get the problem whilst inserting specific shots onto the tape, I can just re-do the edit and it comes good.

Otherwise the only solution is the play the whole programme out again.
I agree that it’s a very annoying problem. Adrenaline is a lot more flaky than the old Meridien systems. But it can do more in realtime.
