oh boy, this was one stupid bug. Thanks for your perseverance with this
problem! I now figured this bug was introduce to 2.5.2 with following
commit:

--cut--
commit 8917a0f6602bd6098dffe434f008458cb1199549
Author: Kai Vehmanen <kvehmanen -at- eca -dot- cx>
Date: Fri Jul 11 01:22:46 2008 +0300

     Added new '-E' ecasound frontend option.
--cut--

... unfortunately I had not booted up my brain properly when committing
that (or it had been in continuous use for too long ;)) and as the result,
the change to frontend parser is simply braindead ('-E' is a frontend
option and not handled by the libecasound parser). As a result, any
argument containing "-E" substring was not correctly passed to
libecasound. :( D'oh!

This also explains the earlier problems you have reported in April:

  "problem with long command line parsing?"
  http://www.eca.cx/ecasound-list/2009/04/0038.html

... e.g. in this case, "-o
/Users/jayson/tmp/pymgen_tmp/GZC24e/audio-Et9gws.aac" had the infamous
substring and was not correctly passed forward.

Sorry about the hassle! Bugs of this magnitude really should not slip
through to releases.

Fix was just committed to the git repo, and here's also a snapshot:
