The problem is in the source FLAC files - their tags are saved in tagging program, which did not save multivalued fields as recommended by standard (http://www.xiph.org/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html). I.e. for artist tag it should use multiple ARTIST fileds, not one with some custom separator.
The solution is to resave tags for problematic files in MM4. Other workaround directly in MM4 for this situation is not safe (it could separate field values for FLAC files where it is not desired).
