Not really - just because the mp3s aren't at full scale doesn't prove the original files on the track aren't - as you've both suggested the track could have gone through a master fader or some other sort of attenuation before exporting. As Rich says we need to see the session really, but from the info we have it suggests it's simply a problem between the 32Bit - >24 Bit conversion.

Edit : also just to say it took me about 30 seconds to be able to replicate this problem. (Turn the clip up beyond 0dBFS, still sounds fine on playback; consolidate, sounds awful)
