This is intriguing. As you probably know, the countdown between tracks
N and N+1 starts at index 0 of track N+1, and finishes as index 1 of
N+1 is reached. Now, an audio CD player is supposed to start playing a
disc at index 1 of track 1. So in theory you should never see it
playing index 0 of track 1 (unless you rewind into it). I can't think
of any way that a mis-mastering of a CD would exhibit this behaviour.

There is a hidden track at index 0, which you can play only by rewinding
into it.
