I don't think the issue is related to clipping.
My first guess is that your system uses the 'fluidsynth' MIDI engine
which sometimes has weird behavior.
A few questions:
- which Ubuntu version is it?
- can you try running without fluidsynth, from the command line:
SDL_FORCE_SOUNDFONTS=1 SDL_SOUNDFONTS= freedink
(cf. /usr/share/doc/freedink-engine/TROUBLESHOOTING)
- if you can, try to run the MIDI file manually with fluidsynth and
check the sound quality, something like:
fluidsynth -a alsa -l -i /usr/share/sounds/sf2/TimGM6mb.sf2
/usr/share/games/dink/dink/Sound/dance.mid
- how loud is the MIDI compared to the sound effects ?
I'll make a few tests with Solstice later and check with lowering the
full Music channel, though that's the only control we have on the whole
MIDI chain.

Who needs a complex bug tracker when we can nicely discuss this
directly? :)
