> ...The MP3 Tags include more than one artist which Mp3tag also detects, but the Tag-\>Filename function is not. It is just writing them side by side, without any slashes, commas or something like that.

The "/" is an illegal character so it is left out.  
If you want to get a special treatment of the problematic characters, enclose the field or the whole format string in the function $validate() and set a preferred replacement character.

Alternatively, you can use $replace() for specific pairs to be replaced.
