It's been a while, and the problem is still there :-|
It seems MPEG frames have a fixed size of 0x1a1 octets and so possibly
lame preprended an empty one, for whatever reason. From earlier
experience, players are fairly robust against data weirdness, hence this
still worked for you.
While I could bring this upstream, I'd still like to learn more about
what happened here. Were you able to reproduce lame's behaviour with
arbitrary input?
