Thanks for this report.  ExifTool isn't recognizing the MP3 audio header because it thinks it isn't an MP3 file.  The audio is stored in layer 2, but it must be in layer 3 for an MP3.  Do you have many other files like this?

I don't know :)
select count(*) from audioparam where duration=0
gives 267 (out of 73128).

But most of them are five-CD album of Clayderman.
