AFAIK, pcbnew does not merge edge cuts in footprints with the edge cuts
in the board so a complete board outline is not generated. Someone
please correct me if I'm wrong about this. It is a known issue and
hopefully we will get it resolved in v6. As for moving edge cut layers
in footprints, you could move them to a fab layer so the user can use
the outline to copy to the edge cut layer on the board.
