The specification does allow for multiple artists in a ID3v2.4 tag.
Frames document, Section 4.2 states that 'All text information frames
support multiple strings, stored as a null separated list where null is
represented y the termination code for the character encoding'. That
would allow multiple artists to be listed. This is distinct from using
(say '&') to separate multiple artists in a single string. Whether this
should be supported or not is a matter of complexity, I imagine.
I'm not sure if this is what the OP meant, or whether they meant that
there were multiple TPE[1234] frames within a single tag, which is
explicitly disallowed in section 4.2 ('There may only be one text
information frame of its kind in an tag' (sic)), modified later by
allowing multiple TXXX frames only.
