I don't understand item 2. If I were to add fade-in and titles to the 
beginning of any clip, I would expect the audio from the original 
clip to still be there (fading-in with the video in the case of the 
fade-in effect).

Regardless, let's presume I misunderstand what you are saying. If the 
problem only occurs on the first clip in a movie, did you try adding 
a short black clip before the original first clip, and then applying 
the titles and fade-in to the now second clip (formerly the first 
clip)? That would be pretty simple to do, if it would work around the 
problem.
