I had noticed this type of issue some time ago. It seems to not just affect Rhythmbox. The id3v2 tagged mp3 will make xmms crash, and gstreamer as well. The only way I was able to play mp3s that had this issue was in totem. Once I went in and deleted the id3v2 tag, everything played them again. As to what causes these files to start doing this, I have not figured out yet. The only theory in my mind is maybe something in RB is corrupting the id3v2 tags. Great to see this issue was not only on my box, have confirmed the deletion of the id3v2 tag as the fix on another user's box.
