This not the only anomaly.
We digitaze tapes and vinyl und have daily thousend of clips that must be normalized.
We get also clips that are - after normalize - OVER 0dB.
And we get also clips - after normalize - with corrupted audio data.
To prevent this, the clips must be selected and right-click "Apply Trimming" befor normalizing.
Maybe this also the reason for you.
But again and again (1 time a week) there are cases with corupted audiodata and levels > 0dB.
In most cases we pan-normalize the audiofolder outside of SONAR with Wavelab. Because SONAR has no pan-normalize.
