When I worked at a camera shop I do remember once seeing a camera that addressed this scenario by design. The film was loaded in the same fashion as most cameras except before use the camera would unwind the roll film off of the canister and onto the equivalent of an M's film take-up tulip spool.
The Ricoh GR cameras do this I think, and don't Fed 2's or some of those Russian cameras made so they can wind from one cassette to another?

the noise at film change is made anyway, leicasniper. WInding it back at the end, or winding it forward at the beginning, it is the same..
Anyway. I'm not trying to blame the camera design. I was plain stupid. No,not stupid. Just distracted by an attractive girl, actually.

OK update: here's what happens if...see first post.

The rest of the film, about 5 frames, were completely burned out.
These three are...hmm, interesting.
the previous 28 frames were all fine, except around sprocket holes.

Glad to hear that at least you had some good luck, along with the not-so-good.
