Strange problem while tracking a PSD in Final Cut...

I have an interview with a single hot spot on the talent from a light glare that the client wants to remove...
So, I created a PSD layer that I imported into Final Cut and tracked frame by frame over the glare to cover it up. When I click frame by frame or scrub over the timeline, the PSD layer seamlessly covers the hotspot in the Canvas window, but when I hit play, the PSD shifts a few frames to the right, revealing the hotspot.

The PSD still moves with the keyframes I created, but again, to the right of where I intended. I've worked with PSDs in Final Cut many times and have never had this issue. Any ideas?

I shot on an HVX 200 in 24p 1080...
 
Oh, and when I delete the keyframes, the PSD layer does NOT jump to the right. It has something to do with the keyframes I think...
 
Very complex way to fix a problem. I'd use the Color Corrector 3-Way, or a Luma Travel Matte type of approach. No keyframes needed. I've even done this with a keyer before.
