Wow, that's a really good idea! To take it a step further (or maybe not as far actually), you could sample 1-bar loops of all your DJ-unfriendly tracks, then burn them to CD. Bring it with you wherever you go, then you could loop the 1 bar, mix it in, then "double up" with the actual track (which would make the cue point mostly irrelevent), or you could have all three tracks in the mix (or whatever the context demands). This way when you know you're playing a booth with a CD-player, you can bring your DJ-unfriendly records too. Just a thought...
I don't really find this to be a huge issue, but sometimes I screw up my sets of 32 if I rush to find the cue point and it *is* annoying. When I make tracks without a fade in, I try to get a discernable beat with a good cue point in there by the 8th or 16th bar b/c I want to make my tracks listenable and DJable.
