In your own case (Paul) luckily there is probably very little cause for concern - because your files have other context available, allowing us to either convert/confirm, or else entirely replace the most important interval values. And I don't consider this difficult to tame sufficiently for practical purposes, again in your own case.
But as a larger issue of depending on LC intervals - yep, it's huge! Really a stunning eye-opener to see the different values for the different files. We should give a quick tip to all LC developers: DON'T use intervals for permanently storing media time values. :)
As for the original question: Given their arbitrary nature per OS/Media framework, I actually think "interval" may be the best choice of word! An arbitrary slice of time. Perfectly named, but utterly problematic if treated as anything other than arbitrary and temporary.
