Things turn weird in the tag editor...
If I add the tag "Foo & Bar, Foobar" and hit enter, I get 3 tags:
Foo
Bar
Foobar
And mystery solved. There is indeed a bug in the tag editor that raises its head when it is applied to custom columns. The bug is triggered only if:
  • The column does not have is_names checked, and
  • A hand-entered tag contains an & or if the user hand-enters more than one tag at a time.
I have submitted a fix to Kovid that should be included in the next release.
