There is one .m2ts (0004.m2ts) file that contains the main feature, which is used by all three playlists and it's missing those first 6 seconds. This means it's not a technical issue with the seamless branching that's causing players to skip footage, it's a case of the footage not even being there to begin with.
I'm glad someone else has mentioned this as I did the same thing and came to the same conclusion. I've posted this up several times but people still insist on it being a branching issue and ignore this point. As you say, the video just doesn't exist on the disc which means whoever authored/encoded it has made a balls up somewhere. I do agree that it should have been caught at a QC stage though. No question.
