And this is me out for the week :). The true problem lies here:

--------------------
commit 900a8efeddb238a1e67fec41857e3d2594227dde
Author: Jesus Climent <mooch at debian.org>
Date:   Wed Aug 12 13:42:37 2009 +0000

    * Bumped to 2.4
    * Corrected REDIR redirection, this time with ifs instead of variable
      substitution, which did not work (Closes: #527191).
    * Added TPE2 for Various artists definition (Closes: #521669).
------------------

which was in part a response to this bug report:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=527191

and the incorrect syntax used masked the issue until Andrew Ruder's
patch caught it out. This one is beyond me so I hope that Steve or
Colin can have a look?
