Pure speculation follows -
I suspect it's not merely poor enunciation, but arises from an 
unfortunate interaction of dialects - since some dialects pronounce the 
long "i" itself as a simple "ah", it's not clear what words have which 
sound - the distinction between the two cannot be heard. One can see the 
same phenomenon with 'h' and 'r' in some british dialects, whereas the 
sound in question is often dropped, it will sometimes be inserted where 
it doesn't belong with no apparent reason.
