Dang it! I meant to write it should NOT "be placed into MLT XML files...."

Last time I checked, which was not too long ago, I have this H.264
performance option enabled in Kdenlive settings, but it would always
write the property into the MLT part of the XML project file with an
empty string, which is as it should be IMO. I am not exactly sure how
Kdenlive is toggling this property on the MLT API. Maybe there is a
bug where it was actually doing nothing for a long time, that was
fixed, and now it appears during render as well, which is not good.
