AV Sync Problems with Toast?

Over on the DVX Users board there is a poster who's having problems with his audio going out of sync with AVCHD clips he's transcoding with Toast 10. Since the clips I've been testing with Toast are not sound critical, I have not seen this problem. However Roxio has acknowledged there's a problem:
"As stated previously, this is a known issue as far as audio/video sync when using AVCHD files. We are currently researching a solution and ask that you periodically check for software updates. Thank you."
Here's the link to the thread. So it seems there's even more reason to just stay inside FCP and use Log and Transfer for the time being. If you have plenty of space, Pro Res 422 seems to be the way to go.
