Sounds like an oversight to me.

In the mean time, Dan, if you're out there? Here's the snippet of code
responsible, I expect. It's in CPAN/MP3/Info.pm
> } elsif ($id =~ /^TCON?$/) {
> if ($data =~ /^ \(? (\d+) (?:\)|\000)? (.+)?/sx) {
> my($index, $name) = ($1, $2);
> if ($name && $name ne "\000") {
> $data = $name;
> } else {
> $data = $mp3_genres[$index];
> }
> }

It's been many years since sed and awk, but this appear to look for
TCON (or TCO, for some reason I can't begin to guess) tags (which are
always V2) and then tries to figure out if they should be treated as V1
tags - should never happen.
If they start with leading digits and colons, they are totally
mishandled.
This code seems to be expecting genres of the form
1: rock
2: pop
3: whatever
But that's not part of ID3, no version I've ever seen.
In any case, it will eat leading digits in genres for lunch. I think
this is the problem.
This code is replete with V1isms that seem to have persisted into V2
ID3 tags. Not sure why. I understand this code came from CPAN ... so
I'm not sure how one goes about getting it fixed. ...
