If you believe me then this could save you a lot of time for testing:  
The $num() function has never been different.  
Since very early posts $num() has been used to get the number part, mostly in TRACK, see e.g. here:

> [@Removing total track information from multiple files](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/removing-total-track-information-from-multiple-files/9050/2):
>
> The fastest way i know is the autonumbering wizard (icon in the toolbar or tools menu), as long as the tracks show in the right order in mp3tag. If your albums are in a folder each, you can tick the reset counter for each directory option in the wizard so that you dont have to repeat the process on each album.

And the result for the conversion of a non-number results in 0.

Perhaps as a test you could use  
%num(%artist%,2)  
in the function Convert\>tag-tag  
as this has a preview.
