This bug has been reported in the Debian BTS: http://bugs.debian.org/251136 "If an album consists of different file types, say oggs and mp3s, then when the playlist is sorted by artist or album, the files will not be in the order of their track numbers, but the oggs will be listed before the mp3s. (I haven't tested to see if it does this with other file types, like FLAC.) Sorting will be normal within the groups of oggs and mp3s inside the album itself."
Is this problem still reproduceable ? I couldn't reproduce with the 0.8 branch. I encoded an album to both mp3 and ogg, kept the odd tracks encoded in mp3, and used the ogg version for the even tracks, and I didn't manage to get an inconsistent order in the library.
It seems it's not reproducible, and the OP declared he is not interested in resolution of this bug, hence closing as obsolete.
