Ross,

I'm pretty sure icecast gets this all correct - though I'm not 100% certain 
about the status page, I think even that is correct.

I strongly suspect that this is an oddcast (or possibly, but less likely, 
winamp) bug. 

I couldn't check this, your stream was playing something with no non-ASCII 
characters at all when I went to have a look. 

If you'd like me to take a closer look, could you send me (off-list, please) 
one of the files you're streaming (the input file), and a capture/dump of the 
stream itself, containing the same track? Just a small section of each would 
be fine - all this metadata is found at the start of the file, so just 
sending the first 100kB would be fine.
