Interestingly, I can also get the "pause" if I crank the engine while it's in sleep mode. If I press a button to wake up the unit quickly after the engine has been started, it'll start playing and the same pause will happen a couple of seconds into the playback.

As sort of a late follow-up to this old message, I want to report that this doesn't happen any more, now that Mike and Hugo did some work on the kernel to fix the random track skips just before the release of 1.0.

Darn, if I'd knew that this bug was related to the track-skipping bug, I would have brought it to Mike's attention sooner. Oh well. All's well that ends well, right?
