The other reason adding a piece of black title to top and bottom is that many of the codec's being exported to are long GOP, and having that second of black media at the top and bottom of the sequence allows mpeg or H264 or whatever codec something to latch on to for smooth playback start and stop when reviewing via QuickTime, or authoring a DVD. When DVD authoring, this usually gives you a little pad where you can place a start locator, since in DVD authoring, you can only start at the first frame of a GOP.
Also, while video mixdown cures many such ills in the middle of a sequence, a second of title black at the top and bottom seems to still solve some problems with exporting.
I like to use just the fill portion of the title black (step in to the title and drag it out onto the timeline) so that I don't have to render the title footage.

I'll add to Kenton's experience and advice.
I've had this too -- I think the areas that were filler at the start
would play as white in the QT.
I am now of the habit of adding a 1 second black title at the top and
tail of the sequence, then doing an Expert Render, and then doing the
export.
