romberg(m1(x), x, 32, 36); yields Zero. The plot above shows that it is not zero everywhere in the region 32-36. In fact,
romberg(m1(x), x, 32, 33) = 0.051305498551289
romberg(m1(x), x, 33, 34)=0.016230140453864
romberg(m1(x), x, 34, 35)=0.0014305334087985
romberg(m1(x), x, 35, 36)=2.3489482722215246*10^-4.

1. Update summary to reflect this is a romberg issue, not symbolic integration.
2. Change category to floating-point
3. Changed visibility to non-private.

Try changing some of the variables that control romberg integration. Changing rombergmin to 1 gives romberg(m1(x),x,32,36) -> 0.0692, which is very close to the value of the symbolic integral.
