Shifted sound segement when saving trimmed copies

I am having a problem with Vegas Video's option of saving trimmed copies of source media with a project. Specifically, on a few shots only, the newly saved sound segement is shifted relative to the original segement used in the project.

Here's what happened. I used the "Save As..." option in Vegas Video 3.0c to "Copy and Trim Media with Project", saving the project and files to a new folder. As well, I selected the "Create trimmed copies of source media" button, so that I would save only the segements of what I had used on the timeline.

When I played back my newly saved video project, I found that on a few shots the picture no longer matched up with the original sound. A couple of seconds of sound from the beginning of the original clip had replaced the last couple of seconds of sound on the segement used on the timeline. I tried saving again with the "Extra head and tail" selector set to 0 seconds, but still the same results.

The newly saved sound file inserts a couple of seconds from before the portion that I am using on the project timeline, and deletes the same amount from the end. On the project timeline, the sound file begins at the right point but then the last couple of seconds are replaced with the inserted material. In effect, to use a form of algebraic expression, if my original segement goes X to Y, then the "saved as..." version goes Z-X to Z-Y, where Z is a shift to the left (backwards in time) of a couple of seconds. On the timeline it plays back with the inserted beginning segement moved to the end as X to Z-Y then Z-X.

Has anyone else experienced this? Were you able to resolve the problem?

I've had this problem forever and Sony has yet to address it, as far as I know. Why this option doesn't simply save the trimmed copies as complete AVI's, rather than split them into an AVI and a WAV,(as the original file was) I can't understand. This annoyance costs me hours and hours of needless editing, synching the WAV file to the video. Oh, well ... maybe in version 6 ?
