I've experienced weirdness with timewarps before when they come to online. Saving the motion effect and reapplying it to the online clip with a matching start frame sometimes works but sometimes not. I've always attributed the issue I've seen with the lack of an anchor point on the timewarp from offline. I speculate that they build a motion effect in offline and when it's originally applied Avid sets the anchor point as the first frame by default. Then various keyframes are applied for ramping the speed etc... Later things get trimmed and shifted and the original anchor point then falls outside the actual edit. Sometimes I can see it to the left of the start point in the motion effects editor but not always. I'm thinking this lost or stranded anchor point has something to do with timewarps being shifted when uprezzed. It reminds me of moving pictures effects that once rendered in offline then get trimmed but they don't unrender in the offline and then when they get to online the move is drastically different.
Anybody got any tips or suggestions? I told the AEs to take a look at the problem timewarps in the offline sequence and see if they are missing an anchor point
