Does iPod have problem with VBR?

I was listening to an audiobook downloaded from my public library and every 15s or so there is a slight skipping, where most of a syllable is missing.
I had heard that the iPod has problems playing VBR MP3s, see for example this link: http://txfx.net/2005/02/08/vbr-mp3-fix/

In the end it turns out the original MP3 is the problem, not the iPod, since it skips on my PC also, however it did raise the question that I can't seem to find a definitive answer to:

Does the iPod classic have issues playing VBR MP3s? is the problem mentioned in the link above valid, or has this been fixed since the article was publixhed?

ipod classic 80G, firmware 1.0.3, Windows XP Pro, Winamp 5.52 + ml_ipod 3.04
