I'd say a combination of the quantise settings and Logic's way of
dealing with playback and/or cycled playback when a chord starts before
the playback position. I think in this case the chord has some notes
that stop then start again (e.g E2) which seems a bit odd, as if you
lifted your fingers from the keyboard momentarily by accident during the
chord (not wishing to criticize your playing - that's quite normal).
These little notes aren't playing when played back from the cycle point
because I think the main chord is shuffled forward to sound from the
start of playback.

Update:

Just tried pasting the sequence into a new autoload and playing the same 
cycle. Doesn't happen - so maybe I'm talking rubbish and you just have a 
corrupt song!
