This is a design issue. VLC was originally designed for Network 
playback and therefore has trouble looking into the future of a file.
It will be fixed, but it will take a considerable amount of time.

This happens with movies where the sound and the video are in different 
parts of the file. The indicator continuously switches between the 
audio position and the video position. It will also be fixed, but 
probably around the same time as the above issue or even later.
