Comment (by klaussfreire):

 Sadly, no. I thought so, but further tests (at various bitrates) show
 saturation. Not the same issue as the original in the OP, but an issue
 nevertheless.

 I have only attacked M/S coding and some bit allocation inefficiencies,
 but the improvement seemed to improve those issues during initial tests
 since tonal band encoding improved significantly, but it's still not
 enough it seems to avoid clipping due to quantization noise.

 Since the original signal is saturated already, I may have a relatively
 easy fix for it: all quantization noise risks the same artifacts, but I
 believe there is only one fix, which involves tweaking rounding of strong
 signals.

 That needs careful calibration, however, in order to avoid modifying
 behavior on non-clipping signals (since rounding towards zero generally
 induces higher SNR), but I'll be travelling soon and won't be able to work
 much on it till jan 1st.
