Wow!!
This certainly seems to incriminate Apple software based on the other tests you have reported.
I would welcome a chance to take a look at a short clip from your camcorder in which this flaw is evident. You could take the .mts file found in the STREAMS folder in the BDMV folder and email or post it.
It would be very useful for other FCP users here to see if they run into the same issue.
I very deliberately and joyfully dumped my most recent 8 core Mac Pro Xeon 3.0 GHz machine and FCP after finding it to be so painfully slow for doing AVCHD work, and also had a prior quad core MacPro as well as a dual processor G5 MacPro running FCP, both of which handled HDV with relative ease. I frankly detested the way Apple AVCHD was handled and how slow Compressor was, even on their highest performance MacPros.
Therefore I have no hardware or software here to repeat your experiment, but will be glad to see how the clip itself behaves, and also think that others here might be willing to spend a bit of time taking a look as well.
