I haven't noticed a problem. I'm also anal about making sure the plastic feet on furniture are all good. I have not seen swell at the cuts, and the color coat is probably close to 1/16". I don't see many long term, but mine is 5 years old and my sister's deck is 16 years old. On her stairs and drink rails I mitered the corners and ends and sealed with matching caulk. I thought that might have been an issue at the time, but it's been fine.
