This problem still occurs in 17.10.  I just ripped a kids music disc via
Rhythmbox using MP3 default settings (=VBR/medium).  Files are perceived
(by RB and nautilus) as 32Kbps:

% file 19\ -\ Five\ Days\ Old.mp3                 
19 - Five Days Old.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 2.3.0, contains:MPEG ADTS, 
layer III, v1,  32 kbps, 44.1 kHz, JntStereo

% mp3val 19\ -\ Five\ Days\ Old.mp3
Analyzing file "19 - Five Days Old.mp3"...                 
WARNING: "/home/ddl/Music/Laurie Berkner/Lullabies/19 - Five Days Old.mp3": VBR 
detected, but no VBR header is present. Seeking may not work properly.          
                              
INFO: "/home/ddl/Music/Laurie Berkner/Lullabies/19 - Five Days Old.mp3": 7087

I can partly "fix" file metadata (via vbrfix and mp3val -f), but
nautilus and RB then display bitrate as "unknown".
