I did some more testing this morning and I am pretty sure it a path
length problem as the album name in the files meta-data is used as a
folder name in the iTunes Library (and thus becomes a part of the file
path). Even though the problematic files play fine (and MacOS X per se
has no size limitations), iTunes itself has problems displaying long
file paths correctly in the Info window (see attachment).

I tested it in SBS with a small audio file converted from mp3 to alac
using iTunes 9.1 (which was given the same meta data as the "real"
100MB alac file). 

As a mp3 file - which plays natively -  with the same meta-data plays
just fine, it seems to follow that there ought to be a parameter size
restriction during transcoding (and thus faad et al are the
culprits?).

So, should I enter a new bug or is this already a known issue?
