That option only relates to the audio engine and what you hear. For example, you press space to stop playback, and you hear the reverb tail fade out instead of the audio abruptly cutting out. This does not at all affect mix down.

Yeah, go figure? If you'll notice that option is to allow effect tails to continue after playback stops and what I'm asking about is getting those effect tails to continue until they're done in the actual mixed down audio. Fairly sure I mentioned that it was checked in the original post anyway. Try it for yourself. Record something, anything, with an effect like delay or reverb, max it so it has a good long tail. Play it back in sonar, wait till it's done, then export the audio. You'll hear that instead of fading out or doing whatever it does when you play it back, it gets cut off abruptly precisely where you stopped recording.
