In regards to the deck settings... You should try real hard to make sure they match...
You can often get odd errors with cueing and reporting accurate timecode otherwise.
Post the exact deck model, and someone here may know.
I posted a little while ago that I've got a Panasonic AJ3700B deck that never auto configures properly - Avid always thinks it's a Panasonic (something else)
This ALWAYS screws up digitizing. But you can tell right away... it won't even load in to the avid.
However, I've seen assistants do things like turn off the 'TC' button so that their digitizing will work... when instead they should have changed the deck... that would be what is considered a BadThing.

(or typing for that matter) In theory, if either one is locked to reference, and the other isn't, then it would need to lock to the one that does have reference lock. However, I have seen the Avid locked to reference, and the incoming video not locked to reference, and it has caused problems in the past. In that instance it would be safer to remove the reference from Avid to ensure it locks to incoming video.

I'm a big fan of a round of sync foe everyone just to be safe. If the avid has no sync I don't think the avid cares on capture if the deck is free running or locked to house ref but when doing a digital cut I've had prompts warning about a lack of sync to the record machine that might effect edit accuracy.
