It is probably clipping.  I listened to the video file you created, and it
sounds like both the time code and the scratch audio file are clipping.

Yes, around 6 seconds.  Have you tried starting the video first?
I don't have a machine with ardour  on it at the moment, I'll have to try
lining them up later tonight so see if it looks like they are really off
by 6 seconds.

I suspect that the "discontinuity" messages  you see will go away when you
stop clipping the audio track on the video so hard.

You are selecting "file timestamp" in the "insert at" drop down selection
box of the session/import dialog, right?  Not insert at session beginning?
The Ardour manual does not show the wording for the equivalent option in
the open video dialog, I will have to check when I can get to my machine
with Ardour installed, but you will want to make sure the equivalent is
selected for the video import as well.
