It’s both a free and paid for editing and color correction software from Blackmagic. If you don’t have any experience with Resolve, it may take a bit for you to get what you need, but it is not that complicated for just this one operation.
Install Resolve Lite (free)
Import or drag and drop your mixdowns into the MediaPool
Create a timeline on the edit page and line up your video and audio
no need to color correct
go to deliver page and select outputs for MXFOPAtom1a and codec, include audio, etc.There’s lots of tutorials out there and the manual is very well written. This is a valuable tool to have available and can come in handy for lots of different things besides the obvious kick ass color correction.

I don’t know what codec you want to have in the MXF OP1a file, but here is an example of a mixdown file in the delivery page of Resolve. They suppport DNxHD, XDCAM, Sony MPEG flavors, etc.

Did you try doing a reveal file on your mixdown file, opening that MXF file in Resolve and see what it looks like? If it looks good, then try exporting MXF OPatom1a from there after bringing in audio as BWF and lining them up. I just did a quick test and Resolve sees the mixdown MXF just fine. Now whether that solves your tape clog issue or not remains to be seen.

Also, what raster size and frame rate are you exporting? 1080p/25?

Well hell.
One more test, mark and in-out for a 5 second span that includes those frames and export as sequential JPEG or TIFF and sse if that export is doing the same thing.
Other than that, I might suggest finding the MXF of your video and audio mixdown and opening them in Resolve to see if that is clean, if so, export MXFOPAtom 1a from there and let Avid know they have an issue.

Does it do the same with a .mov container? What version of MC are you running?

Hmmm…. Seems like an export bug in the MXF OpAtom 1a file. Do you have Adobe Media Encoder by chance?

Is there a mix of interlace and progressive material?

What does it look like when you AMA link your export back into the project? Load into the source monitor, gang it to your original timeline and see if you can see what they are claiming.

What codec are you using when exporting? Without something more descriptive than “tape clogs” it is hard to tell if it is a render error, an mpeg encode error (depending on codec), etc. I would suggest trying a video mixdown to the delivery codec required, then try exporting again.
