FCPX not interpreting 1440x1080 video correctly

I have a 1440x1080 (i.e. 4:3 aspect ratio) video clip that when imported via XML appears as a 16:9 clip with pillarboxes on the sides.

But if I drag the clip into FCPX it displays correctly as a 4:3 clip.

This is the XML I am creating:

<fcpxml version="1.5">
<resources>
<format id="r1" name="FFVideoFormat1440x1080p24" frameDuration="100/2400s" width="1440" height="1080"/>
<asset id="r2" name="Redacted" src="" format="r1" duration="9600/2400s" start="1085200/2400s" hasVideo="1" hasAudio="1" audioSources="1" audioChannels="2" audioRate="48000"/>

And this is the XML FCPX generates from the clip when imported manually:

<fcpxml version="1.5">
    <resources>
        <format id="r1" frameDuration="100/2400s" width="1440" height="1080"/>
        <asset id="r2" name="Redacted" uid="23AE001452758B6046B70CCE8753F273" src="" start="1085200/2400s" duration="4s" hasVideo="1" format="r1" hasAudio="1" audioSources="1" audioChannels="2" audioRate="48000">

The only difference I can see is that FCPX does not include the video format in the XML file. And indeed, if I don't specify the format it imports correctly as a 4:3 clip.

But surely that's a mistake? It seems like the format should always be specified to prevent misinterpretations and FFVideoFormat1440x1080p24 is a valid format. It's listed on this page: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/FinalCutProX/Reference/FinalCutProXXMLFormat/FCPXMLSupportedIdentifiers/FCPXMLSupportedIdentifiers.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011227-CH3-SW2

I am using FCPX 10.3.3 by the way.
