Hm... Not sure if that made things much clearer for me. :)

Had a look at the file in a tag editor, and I'd say that tag writer is
pretty bad. In the original, the tag is about 34 kB. In the changed
file, the tag is only 260 bytes (including 204 bytes of padding, no
less). The rest of the original tag is left as is - and it isn't
unsynchronized or anything, which causes some problems...

Nope. Two tag editors I tried report the same file time as Rockbox.
