I think there have been updates in foobar so that "albumartist" and "album artist" are now "albumartist".  
(also see [How to replace or rename a tag field](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/12564/1)  
On the discnumber topic there has been a thread  
[Problem with %discnumber% between mp3tag and foobar](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/12844/1)  
that might shed some light on the incompatibilities.
