I'll "pray tell you" that it's a transition to a different video track 
(i.e. transition to no video in that track).

Say I have 2 video tracks, one main track and one overlay track.  The main 
track has all my video data and the overlay track has short bits.  I want 
to transition into each of the short bits.  No problem transitioning into 
them, but I can't transition out of them since transitions can't be 
attached to the end of an edit.

That make sense?

A PNG is one frame.  A transition that lasts 1 frame isn't that useful to
me...anyway, a "fake" secondary edit won't work because the transition
depends on the last edit's data still being available past the end of the
edit.  In my case it isn't since I use a reframe effect that isn't
extended into the next track (if I do extend it into the next track, it
overlays the effect).  I really don't want to have to render all these 
short video edits to disk just because I can't put a transition at the end 
of an edit...
