This indeed sounds like a bug. Could you create one at
http://bugzilla.gnome.org , ideally with a testcase?

Inside playbin the streamsynchronizer element is responsible for
adjusting segments in a way that the running time of such multiple
streams played one after another directly is monotonically increasing.
