I ran into the same issue a couple of weeks ago (though with 0.24-fixes) 
and I came up with the attached hack to work around this issue. The 
problem I was seeing was that the seektable and cutlist etc *was* copied 
into the filemarkup table, but the filename was lost, all the entries 
that got inserted into the filemarkup table had an empty string as the 
filename.

I discussed this briefly with Raymond Wagner on irc at the time and he 
said he'd look into it, but I've had no time since to follow up. 
Anyways, I wanted to post my hack so others can see if it fixes the 
problem for them too. If it does, maybe someone has ideas on a proper 
fix for this issue that could be committed to the bindings, or added to 
the script, whichever is appropriate.
