Sounds like a bug to me, or a corrupt file...is the song in question too complex to just 
recreate it from scratch?

Actually, that brings up another point: is there anything recorded in the "song" track (ie, 
the linear track that overlays the pattern chain)? Is it possible something in there is 
messing up the sequence (don't ask me how, just thinking out loud)?

Does it behave like this when you lengthen *any* preceding step? What if you delete the 8-
bar step and then re-insert it?

I haven't done a whole lot with song mode, so I've never run into anything like this. I think 
you've just got everyone stumped, and it's not something that's quick or easy to 
reproduce.
