I tried this with my Repeater last night. It was difficult to recreate, 
but it
did happen to me once...out of about 20 attempts to do it (using different
combinations). I'm guessing that it's specific to a particular combination 
of
button presses, since I was able to recreate it using Stewart's 
instructions
above (stop before multiply), but never when the loop was playing. Even 
with the
stop in there, it only happened once (out of maybe 5 times using the same
procedure), and only when recording to the CFC (not to internal memory).

The one time it occurred, stopping the loop and hitting play again 
corrected the
audio slowdown. Interestingly enough, when the audio slowed down, the 
tempo light
still flashed at the tempo I'd set (and played to), so it was clear the 
audio was
off. You might try just hitting play again (to restart the loop) when it 
happens.
I saw that the combination of stop then play worked.

So, I don't know how conclusive that is. For me it was hard to get it to 
do this,
but clearly it CAN happen with Repeaters other then your's.
