FCP7 QT Export introduces faulty cropping in QT X Player

Product:Pro Apps Product Version:Final Cut Pro 7
Classification: Reproducible:Always
 
Summary: 
When exporting a sequence using the ProRes 422 720p 25 preset from FCP7, the resulting file will playback at 1280x720 in QT 7, but will be cropped to 1248×702 in QTX, regardless of QT7's "Conform Aperture to..." setting.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new sequence
2. load sequence preset ProRes 422 720p 25
3. Add any media to sequence
4. Export sequence to Self-Contained .mov

Expected Results:
FCS7 should set the size to "1280x720".
QTX Player should display the file at 1280x720

Actual Results:
FCS7 sets the size to "1280x720 (1248x702)"
QTX Player crops the video to 1248×702

Regression:
QT7 Player at least respects the "Conform Aperture to..." setting in the .mov, but QTX does not.
Files exported from FCP6.x do not contain the faulty 1248x702 metadata

Notes:
This breaks my workflow. I need to go back to FCP6 to continue working.
This might be also applicable for other Sequence dimensions, such as 1080i, but I didnt test.
