R.A.F. is refering to the copy tags feature, which copies an ID3v2 Tag to an APEv2 Tag by replacing all existing APEv2 tag fields with the fields included in the ID3v2 Tag.
~ Florian

Still no solution in sight for this issue, Florian?
My used codecs and settings:
FLAC V1.1.2 -4 / APE V3.99 Update 4 -high / MPC V1.15v --q 5 / LAME V3.97b2 -V2 --vbr-new / OGG aoTuV V4.51 Lancer -q5

Are you sure your database, as before you turned it off, wasn't populated with info from the file at a point that the id3v2 tag was removed? Just a guess, but if you experience any of those issues again, always remember to right click -> Database -> Reload info from file. The database may have been outdated if you played with any tags outside foobar2000.

[edit] I'm apologise my bad English.
Uh oh, you bwoke it.

THe database was populated before I enabled v2-support in foobar, so that probably explains it.

This is how I would do it:

1. Download and install foobar2000 + foo_id3v2

2. Set Playback -> Input -> Standard inputs -> MP3 Tag Writing to your personal preference.

3. Load all the songs you want to retag into fb2k.

4. Select them all, enter the context menu and execute Database -> Rewrite File tags from database. This will probably take some time, but you'll end up with perfectly retagged files.

In my personal experience foo_id3v2 is one of the most solid id3v2 implementations around and I'd really like to know who told you that it is buggy or unreliable.

Hmmm... I did this and now I have no information in my tags on my 850+ songs.

Edit: I see that I was supposed to create some sort of database first. Oops. Well that kind of sucks.

Why do you want Apev2 tags, if it's not about loosing ID3v2 tags?

I want them, so i can add replaygain-info.

I'm using ID3v2 and v1 [both] using ReplayGain... I absolutely don't want ApeV2 tags on my file as they make my portable mp3 player go crazy (display odd titles... odd characters).
