Split from http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647#c13. 

This behavior is also seen in 2.0.5 release so it is not new. This is the only frames format that shows this behavior AFAICT. If the behavior is legitimate because it is a drop frame then I would like to document why.

Testing on latest alphas on both W10 and Mac - I do not see the descibed behavior occurring on either platform.
