Based on my understanding of [1], these values in the Info tag specify only the encoder delay/padding, which matches the documentation for these fields. It looks like other formats are using the fields that way as well.
I think the extra 528 + 1 samples are the decoder delay [2]. It looks like libmp3lame adds the 528 + 1 only to have mp3dec subtract it, so I'm not sure why that's done. IIUC start_skip_samples is the mechanism that actually accounts for the extra delay when decoding.
