Yup, it only happens in special stages. In normal stages, if you retry the stage while the game is paused, then you'll start the stage already paused. You then unpause, and the music starts.
In special stages, pausing and then retrying the stage causes it to unpause automatically, which doesn't restart the music. You can fix this by just pausing then unpausing.
