XML Translation Audio Bug FCP7 --> APP CS5.5

Anyone else experience this?

It only seems to happen when I export XMLs from FCP7 that use 4-channel audio files (like from a 744t recorder). APPCS5.5 will read them at first after you quit and re-open, the audio channels from 2-4 disappear and if you try to look at the file, it crashes Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5

I've already submitted a bug report but I'm curious if anyone else ran into this problem.
 
I found a work around for the bug. The video above shows the original bug. Here are my steps as follows.

Original Bug:
1. Export FCP7 XML.
2. Import into APPCS5.5
3. All works fine
4. Exit APPCS5.5
5. Open same project
6. Audio files that have 4 channels do not function correctly. Channels 2-4 are missing and only Channel 1 remains.
7. If you check the audio files in the project window, double click them in the source window and check Audio channels 2-4, it will
cause APPCS.5.5 to crash.

Working around the BUG:
1. Export FCP7 XML.
2. Import into APPCS5.5
3. All works fine
4. Export a FCP XML from APPCS5.5
5. Exit APP CS5.5
6. Open the same project
7. 6. Audio files that have 4 channels do not function correctly. Channels 2-4 are missing and only Channel 1 remains.
8. Delete all of the files in the project window.
9. Import the XML file that you just exported from APPCS5.5. All audio files are intact.
10. Exit APP CS5.5
11. Re-open the same project.
12. SOLUTION: All Audio files are intact. No problems what so ever.

I know this is an odd workaround but hopefully will solve this bug soon.
