Comment tag incorrectly displays "0" for some files with correctly populated Comment tags, from Gapless Playback & iTunSMPB fields

Top track, resident advisor 956, Comment = 0.
But as you can see, the file has 2 comments which I manually populated - the track list and the description (FWIW: please LMK if there's a better place to put track lists so that I can search for tracks and they'll appear either as individual files or as part of podcasts. AFAIK only putting track names (and lyrics?) in Comment allows this? Should I move the description out of Comment2 and to Description?).
The only field with "0" as the entry is Gapless Playback.
From the top image, Death Cab's "I will possess your heart" has the proper comment, and has no Gapless Playback field.
I just deleted the Gapless Playback field from the resident advisor tag, waited a while, restarted Strawberry, waited some more, and it's fixed:
Further diagnostics from that screenshot: various other tracks have the same issue, but:
Some of them have normal comments despite having Gapless Playback = 0. In the case of this one, Joker, it only has 1 Comment, I guess because the tracklisting wasn't available. However Fumiya Tanaka has the 0 issue and only 1 Comment and Gapless Playback, so maybe the 2 Comments thing is a dead end...
Some of the tracks above have "00000..." as the comment, e.g. Rey Collino: 2 Comments, Gapless Playback, but now Strawberry is drawing from the iTunSMPB field for some reason:
LMK if there's any more info I can gather which would be helpful for diagnoses. Xubuntu 24.10, Strawberry 1.2.2, Qt 6.4.2.

@Sharky-PI, I remove the second comment field if it is causing a problem.

@rlkeeney Thanks for the idea RL. Sadly some of the culprits don't have 2 comments, e.g.:
