Tag & Rename Bug?

I've been using Tag & Rename v3.0.6 by softpointer for a few weeks and have noticed a disturbing effect.  After using the "Get Tags from Filename" and "Rename Files" functions, it appeared that tag info (e.g. album, title) had gotten mixed amongst my files.  Now I have a complete mess on my hands.   

Since I'm new to the software and haven't diligently RTFM, it is entirely possible that I did something wrong.  In fact, I can think of a few ways this could have inadvertently occured.  I realized up front that I had to be very careful to clear all existing checkmarks before starting a new operation.  I also performed a test run on all operations before committing (although I could have easily missed the subtle mixups that occured).  Overall, I was pretty cautious using the software.

My question is:  Has anyone else experienced this problem?  If not, I'll chalk it up to my carelessness.  Also, if I happen to identify a reproduceable scenario, I'll post a follow up.

Thanks
