Yes, I know why that is: its facebook.
Facebook doesn't allow any auto-generated content anymore and
automnatically removes it in their standard dialog (which iPeng uses).
You'd have to use OpenGraph now (which I plan to eventually do) but the
you'd have to provide the persistence yourself (for links) which isn't
necessarily easy.

You can still re-add info for the current track by doing a "hold" in
the entry field for the text so that the iOS Edit-Menu comes up, iPeng
adds a "paste current track" menu (usually under "more >") which will
paste the same info that was originally part of the message, this
counts because now _you_ are entering the data.

If you are posting something containing links (Spotify et al,
Radio,...) the link will still be present, that's still allowed, it's
just the message itself that can no longer be precomposed.

I was considering to use the API directly and ignore facebook's rules
(no idea how they would react) but then the link resolution would no
longer work, that seems to be broken in that standard API, it only
anymore works with OpenGraph.
