When I converted to aif, I did that in Compressor, for convenience's sake.
I have played around a little more, ran the video through Compressor, just to maybe 'wiggle' things like frame durations and overall QuickTime Voodoo into place, to no avail. Also tried it on a different system...
I have resolved to doing this on an Avid, because there it just works - who would have thought, eh?
I have not played with wave agent, since I'm running out of time...
Thanks again for everyone's help!

The stems and the picture are out of synch with each other in Final Cut Pro 7.0.3, but the waveform display in the timeline synchs up. When I bring the very same files into the Avid via AMA, they are in perfect synch, as expected in the first place. The audio files are wav's with timecode.
