Compressor 4.10 XDCAM encoding results in popping audio

Since updating Compressor to 4.10, using the XDCAM preset results in intermittent audio popping throughout the encode. I use this preset all the time and have tested this today on four machines since updating. My older system that is still running 4.6 encodes the same batch fine. I've already submitted this as a bug report, but wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this and offer a warning not to update if you use XDCAM encoding via Compressor regularly.

Final Cut Pro 11.1, Compressor 4.10, and Motion 5.10 all have a bug that randomly inserts clicky audio noise when outputting to an MXF container.

This happens regardless of the codec and recording format when outputting to an MXF container.

Unfortunately, we had a master go out to our television stations with this audio click noise and it was their master control that found the problem after it had already aired. We have a temporary solution of using Adobe (!!) until it is resolved in fcpx. No fun. I hope it gets fixed soon.

I am having the same issue. I also did not have the problem before the latest Compressor version. I'm on the line with tech support but they don't seem to know anything about it.
