I have emailed them to let them know.

That was from 03.20.16.
Alexander Street is now repeating Gustav Mahler's
Symphony No. 4 as their classical music
free download of the week.
Apparently without admitting that there was any problem when they offered this symphony as a free download a week and a half or so ago, they quietly have fixed the problem. I listened to the entire new fourth movement and did not hear any problem with it.
Here is
the download page for the entire symphony. If you downloaded it previously, all that you should need to download now is the last one listed,
Sehr Behaglich (Des Knaben Wunderhorn), the fourth movement, in order to have the complete symphony now.
I failed to mention this when I made the initial post: the recording is "performed by the Orchestre National de Lille under the direction of Jean-Claude Casadesus, and featuring soprano Margaret Marshall."
