When you need to re-select clips for re-transcoding can't you just sift the bin to show file names? Because all the files that are transcoded will have the same name as the originals (with .new obviously appended) so you'll see original followed by transcode, followed by original. Eventually you'll reach a point where the original files aren't followed by transcodes and this is where to pick up from. Shouldn't take long.
