Yup, was a HDD corruption problem. SpinRite fixed it right up, but I did
a re-install of the OS anyways, as quite a few critical files were also
mangled causing problems with just about everything. Thanks for pointing
me in the right direction.

This is after a re-install of audacity...you're not going to like it...
$ cat /usr/share/mime/packages/audacity.xml
cat: /usr/share/mime/packages/audacity.xml: Input/output error
$ gedit /usr/share/mime/packages/audacity.xml
** (gedit:29153): WARNING **: Hit unhandled case 0 (Input/output error)
So the problem is not related to audacity, rather to the file system or
your physical storage medium. I'm closing it as invalid for now. If you
believe that the problem is not your hardware but a bug in Ubuntu,
please open a new bug against the linux package (or change package
status for this
Will it help if you reinstall the package audacity-data? (You can do
that from Synaptic, just rightclick the audacity-data package and select
mark for reinstallation)
If doing that leads to errors, please post them here.

I did think of doing a re-install and performed it, but have not had a
chance to test whether or not that fixed it. I have no major program
updates to do and I am on a metered Internet plan, so no nilly-willy
installing for me! I will post back if I notice it anymore.
