Here are my plugins. I’ve marked those that appear to be not applicable.

Plugins:  
Additional Artists Variables  
Deezer cover art (n/a)  
Feat. Artists in Titles (n/a)  
Fix Track Numbers (n/a)  
Keep tags  
Padded disc and tracknumbers  
Persistent Variables  
Replace Forbidden Symbols (n/a)

If I were to pick a suspect, it would be the persistent variables plugin. I’m using this in a script to create an ‘album genre’ per [this previous thread](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/script-to-create-an-album-genre-from-its-various-recording-genres/670548). @rdswift and I noticed some flaky behavior building my genre script and Bob felt he need to “ponder” the results vis-à-vis his plugin.

Despite those issues, I was able to finalize a script that works well. I do have an occasional album where the genre result is still inconsistent across tracks, but a simple Ctrl-R fixes it. So there is still some weirdness there as in that previous thread.
