Have a look at this thread to see how many different ways there are to get multiple values into one (type of) field:
You can check in MP3tag if you have real multi-value fields by opening the extended tags dialogue (Alt-T). For real multi-value fields you should see 2 entries with the same field name.
If you do not want it to be like that, you can merge these fields with an action:
Also, you can check the column definition for the field where you see \\: if there is something like $metasep(genre,\\) then you see the contents of all multi-value fields.
