I have heard this behaviour as well. I think it is probably due to a CPU spike when calculating the next track which is worse because of the high CPU usage of pulseaudio recently (bug 1335342). I also assume that this will be resolved once we move to using background playlists in media-hub as the next track will already be in a list and the music-app will be suspended.
