Are you using Logic 7.2? I think that this was a feature of 7.2 to make 
flexible audio loops that follow tempo changes. I often use the "poor mans" quick 
and dirty method - cut the audio into chunks of 1/4 notes or 1/8 or 1/16 notes 
in the original tempo then change the tempo and add crossfades. This works 
pretty well for drum loops which no change in tone. When I get things more 
finalized I can make nicer edits. For example, opening the little regions and 
adjusting the start and ends, or using the glue tool in the audio window. In fact, I 
never really understood why people like BT would use the time machine on drum 
loops so much because that also messes with the transients. But if you copy a 
little bit of silent audio you can glue it into the sample, then cut some and 
adjust it very precisely.
