Switching to ogg vorbis isn't a solution. The problem is within lame. I can use these files on a windows machine and not have the artifacts. I can use toolame and not have the artifacts. The problem with using either is that 1) this is a unix installation, 2) toolame's lowpass filter isn't controllable and doesn't sound that great and 3) I'd have to incorporate toolame into this heavily modified version of ices whereas lame already is. The artifacts also show up on live broadcasts so there's no mp3->mp3 conversion even going on.

The OS is FreeBSD v4.7 and I've tried installing lame from both the straight sources and from FreeBSD's ports. No difference.
