I have no observed this on vivid+overlay, but I have been on wily+silo
038 recently and on a walk back from town I observed the 'random'
increases of volume for short periods of time at the start of a new
track.

However I don't think this was related to notifications, as mobile data is broken on wily, and the wifi was not connected (but it was scanning for new hotspots constantly with buses going past that it could have connected to).
As it appears to happen when a few seconds into a new song I feel it could be related to when the usermetrics are incremented (when >5s into a song).

I'll continue monitoring my device to see if it can be made
reproducibly.

Title:
  headphone volume auto-set to loudest

Status in the base for Ubuntu mobile products:
  New
Status in Music application for Ubuntu devices:
  New
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  since OTA-4 i get the headphone volume randomly set to the highest
  setting. it can only be set when headphones are plugged in and
  playback has started, so I have no way of checking beforehand. (of
  course I can choose to keep headphones away from the ears.)

  
  this occurs both in the music app and in the podcast app podbird. also occurs sometimes during playback, when notification sound is played. 

  not a security issue, but rather a quite serious hearing health issue. 
  I'm on BQ Aquaris E4.5
