Yes, it happens with the "My Top Rated" list. Trying it out a bit, I also had the following result, which is generally the same. It does seem to be some kind of timing issue, so it might help to have more numbers in your automatic list (you can also just create one which includes all your music).

My automatic playlist contains about 4000 numbers and searches take about 500ms (less then a second, but notacable).

I also found another way to reprocude the problem:
- Create the automatic playlist with enough numbers to make searching a bit slower then instantanious
- Star playing a song from that list (any song with enough minutes to test the next steps will do)
- Type in one letter, and at the moment you think the results are going to show up add another letter. Keep doing this till the result set is empty.

When it hits that empty list, any playing music is stopped.

I've got both shuffle and repeat on, and sometimes I saw it skip to another song, so I think the result is that it search the search result as an update of the automatic list and then chooses a new number from the list. If the list is empty, it just stops.

I might be able to make a screencast, but I can't see how this would help if you can't reproduce the problem. Hope the above steps will work.
