Some additional research shows a date (approx 4/12/2021) where videos shot after that date produce correctly while videos shot prior to that date have the 1+ second corruption at the beginning. I have two samples one (shot 4/12) that shows the corruption and the other (shot 4/19) that does not. Both are 4K HLG footage shot with the same Mavic 2 Pro. The difference is most likely caused by a DJI firmware change that got installed on my Mavic 2 Pro between those dates. Analyzing the video file with "mediainfo" does not highlight any relevant differences but it might easily be overlooked. It is unclear what exactly did change.
The key here is that V17 variants of Resolve Studio had no issues with either versions of exporting these files in HDR10, but the newer V18 variants do. I don't have enough of the prior versions to re-install in order to find exactly which of the version changes introduced some kind of "pickiness" regarding the source footage.
Further investigation found that if the project starts with any other video but contains the one that created the corruption it works fine. If the video causing the corruption is the first on the timeline, it corrupts the output if not, it works.
