Obscure unrepeatable bug: Save/Trim/Velocity

1) Editted some clips, trimming some edges and adding a velocity curve to one clip.

2) SaveAs a new veg, using the "copy and trim" option along with "Create trimmed copies" and 0.0 "Extra head and tail".

3) Opened the new veg file. All clips are ok except for the single clip with velocity. The original clip was trimmed at the head and tail. The velocity curve stayed at 100% most of the time and slowed to 10% at the tail of the clip. I'd stretched the tail to match the velocity, i.e., a simple tail slowdown (as the kid's cap caught on his juice cup and slowly tipped it onto his lap ;-) The saved clip was not trimmed at the head but was correctly trimmed at the tail. It is renamed as usual, e.g., "clip1.avi" becomes "clip1 - 000.avi". In the Edit Details view, the clip shows a nonzero "Take Start" -- the correct nonzero value taking the trim into account, so there is no visible error, but the fact is that the "Take Start" value should be zero and the clip should be trimmed at the head.

Something you usually wouldn't notice (i.e., this could be an old bug), but I was doing deshaker then "adding as take", so the take was clearly misaligned.

That's it. I've created a virgin veg file and repeated the steps with some different clips. (Originals were junked before I noticed.) I cannot reproduce the bug. But I have proof that it happened once :-)
