Found this deep in the Zune.net support boards. It fixed my metadata problems after no other fix has worked in any way on any of the computers I've tried them on. Didn't see this fix in this forum anywhere, but it can't hurt to show it again. Might be good for those that were only partially fixed by the other fixes.

It has to do with the specific format coding of the tags... NOT the value of the tags that was the problem (all of my tags are 100% correct and complete). In MP3Tag you have the choice to write tags as follows:
ID3v1, ID3v2 (either/or/both)
If you specify ID3v2, then you have the following sub-options:
ID3v2.4 UTF-8
ID3v2.3 UTF-16
ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1
When I specified either of the ID3v2.3 formats, the errors persisted. When I specified ID3v2.4 UTF-8 (and reimported all of my albums) all, and I mean ALL of my importation problems disppeared.

I just loaded all my songs in MP3Tag, set the options and hit save. Then I deleted all songs from the Zune software and reimported them. No file deletes or renames involved. I did have to remove and add the songs to my Zune.
So, it seems to be that Zune only properly supports one or two ID3 tag formats... None of my songs were using the ID3v2.4 UTF-8 format.
After losing hope... One more Zune metadata fix
