Well, the exact same thing happens if you open midis in quicktime, so it isn't just quicklook. Quicklook is just the easiest way to spot the problem.

I must admit, I'm not. I would think those listening to such files for their pure entertainment value are far and few between. So, it doesn't shock me that the issue hasn't been addressed. Look at this list for example. There are hundreds of members but, I've only seen 4 people even bring the topic up. But the amount of people who listen and create music on the list is pretty big.
