Problem with looping short .mp3 sound files on iPad2

Some .mp3 files don't loop properly on the iPad, but loop perfectly on iOS simulator, and several Android devices.
Device: iPad
OS: 6.1
XCode: 4.6.2
Gideros: v2013.09.1
Using code like the following:
If I convert it to .wav using Audacity, then the sound loops perfectly as expected.
The clip is short, 1.3 seconds. Another clip at 2 seconds also loops badly. They loop back somewhere in the middle or near the end of the sound clip.
Longer clips seem to loop OK (>3 seconds)
UPDATE: I'll work around this by converting everything to '.wav' even though it doubles my app size.
Just wanted to get the symptom documented for whomever is experiencing the same thing.
