Can confirm this behaviour in Gutsy with Sound-juicer. A workaround would be to 
install the ffmpeg-packages and editing the gstreamer-pipeline (in Sound-Juicer 
or by "gnome-audio-profile-properties") something like this:
"audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc quality=2 mode=0 vbr=4 
vbr-quality=2 vbr-min-bitrate=192 ! ffmux_mpeg ! id3v2mux"

The important part to solve this isse is to use "ffmux_mpeg" then
instead of "xingmux". (Though xingmux and xingheader seem both (!) to be
broken in gutsy, because when using both of them, one is not able to
active the profile at all. You can clikc activate, but it won't show up
in the menu and therefore can't be selected. But this is another bug.
The behaviour in feisty at the beginning, that you must have closed the
profiles list before you could edit a profile seems to be fixed and has
nothing to do with this new bug.)

It's sad, but also "ffmux_mpeg" produces corrupt lenght and bitrate
tags/information when viewing the files with Rhythmbox or Nautilus.
Though not often, but it happens. But this is a good workaround to the
default behaviour, where every mp3 file in Rhythmbox has a totally crazy
length information, e.g. a 3 minute track has 15 minutes etc.)

By the way, sometimes when using VBR mp3/lame bitrates are often shown
wrong exactly as 32kb/s.

In comparision this bug (which is somehow related to the other ones
mentioned) is quite annoying, though it affects standard apps like
rhythmbox and sound-juicer and with the wrong length information you
will also get into trouble making a CD with Serpentine out of a
rhythmbox playlist, because Serpetine also uses the wrong track length
informations and you won't be able to use the space on the audio CD in a
proper way.

But try it with "ffmux_mpeg" so far.
