After Effects warning: timeSpanStart

When submitting an AE project with the following argument:

-project "C:\test.aep" -comp "ProRes" -s 87902 -e 87935 -mp -v ERRORS_AND_PROGRESS -close DO_NOT_SAVE_CHANGES -sound OFF

We get the following STDOUT:

PROGRESS: Start: 87901 PROGRESS: End: 87935 PROGRESS: Duration: 00034 PROGRESS: Frame Rate: 24.00 (comp)

Notice how the start is one frame earlier.

The prores in the 24fps comp has been interpreted from 23.976 to 24.

This results in the following warning:

After Effects warning: timeSpanStart of 65.99 seconds will cause render to have frames outside of range defined by comp displayStartTime (3596.6) and end of comp duration (3739.43). Render will succeed, but may have blank frames. 

Does anyone know how to avoid/fix this as it is adding a black frame to the head of each section we render?

I can’t say that I do, but I wonder if it’s at all related to this thread:
