I'm wondering where these came from. It looks like something has attempted to truncate a string by writing NUL into it, without realising that it's not a normal null-terminated string, but one with a length value. With what software (emplode, emptool, or jemplode) did you upload these playlists? I'd consider this a bug in the relevant uploader.
