Drives me nuts...
That's a limitation of MP3, not specifically an Audacity thing. The length of an MP3 has to frame-align, so extra samples of silence will be added to ensure an appropriate length (and there's no loop tag support on MP3s, so it can only loop the whole thing). Ogg Vorbis and FLAC don't have that limitation.
