Needless to say, no one has observed this before, and I can't replicate it
now on the command line (lame -b 320 in.wav out.mp3) with LAME 3.99.3.

So, what LAME version, was it the .dll or the executable, and how were you 
invoking it?

Just a guess: you were using some other program to feed raw PCM samples to the 
encoder. Each sample is four bytes: 2 for the left followed by 2 for the 
right. If those first 2 bytes are missing due to an error in the way the data 
was being fed into LAME, then the channels will be swapped (and out of sync by
1 / the sample rate).
