Oh, I had a job the other day which we tired to capture and edit in Xpress
Pro or Media Composer (both software only versions). The capturing off a
Sony Z1 did not go very well. Actually, not at all ;-) Now from what I read
this seems to be a problem occuring in FCP as well, where the system chokes
on the cutting-points/GOP and the intermediate codec's they use.
We ended up capturing with Sony Vegas, then had to split the material in
scenes (with HDV-split), because Avid does not allow import of HDV/MPEG2
files larger than 1.6GB :-(
The editing in itself went quite good, no hassles there.

cheers
