iTunes 11.1.2 not always counting tracks as played when stopped within the last 10 seconds

It used to be that if you stop playing a track in iTunes within its last 10 seconds (or start playing another track, etc.), that track would still register as played, with the "Last Played" field updating and the "Plays" field being boosted.

However, since I've upgraded to iTunes 11.1.2, this seems to only work intermittently. Sometimes, when I switch to another track, the first track is not registered as played, which is what I would expect. But sometimes it does work. There's no real pattern.

Can anyone reproduce this behaviour? Play a track and stop it manually (Cmd + Period, or change track by double-clicking on another track) when there's less than 10 seconds left of the track. Does it increment this track's "Plays" counter?

Thanks!
