Nice catch.  The PROGSTART mark is explicitly ignored when a cutlist is in
place, but I didn't consider that as such, the mark should be cleared after
transcoding.  (I assume transcoding always applies the cutlist if present.)

See this commit, which only addressed subtitles but may be relevant here:
https://code.mythtv.org/cgit/mythtv/commit/?id=eda5d2e2460d739ba9410c74f949b177865763f2
Something changed in Qt5 such that a MythUI <shape> without a <line>
element now ends up with an invisible 1-pixel border.  If the editor cursor
is defined as 1 or 2 pixels wide, this is probably why it disappeared.  The
workaround/fix is to add a <line> element with width="0" whose color and
alpha are the same as the shape's fill color/alpha.  For example:

            <shape name="position">
                <area>0,0,4,100%</area>
                <fill color="#FFFFFF" alpha="255" />
            </shape>

becomes this:

            <shape name="position">
                <area>0,0,4,100%</area>
                <fill color="#FFFFFF" alpha="255" />
                <line color="#FFFFFF" alpha="255" width="0" />
            </shape>

For the cutlist editor, this would be applied in the theme's osd.xml in the
editbar section, specifically the position, cuttoright, cuttoleft,
keeptoright, and keeptoleft elements.
