I have also had some weird behaviour with MusicMagic/MusicIP. I initially began (briefly) to validate using a Windows MusicIP Mixer set to archive (i.e. write fingerprint tags back to the music files). I changed my mind and stopped, then switched to running the Linux headless server (my music is on the Linux server and I decided it had enough grunt to do the validation itself). Anyway, a number of albums began to have squares appear at the start of the album names, artist names and track names in slimserver. Looking at the tags in mp3tag, they looked fine. At first I thought it was a character encoding issue, but then I noticed a connection with MusicMagic/MusicIP. If I "touched" the files (e.g. rewrote the genre tag) using mp3tag and did a clear & rescan with the MusicMagic/IP server not running, the tags were all fine. However, once I started MusicMagic sooner or later (say after browsing to the relevant albums or after a nighly rescan) the squares appeared again. I had noticed that all the affected tracks had MusicMagic/IP tags. In the end I deleted all the tags, but the problem persisted. Then I deleted the MusicIP cache (default.mp3lib) and I am currently revalidating the entire collection (it'll take a day or so). Even with the MusicMagic/IP server running, I am no longer getting any squares in my tags. Something's going on, so I'd suggest trying to get rid of your cache (just temporarily rename it) and see if you still get the odd tags.
