If the tracks are untagged, or are just tagged with things that
GStreamer can handle, then it should be fine. The issue only affects
files that are already tagged, and include tag(s) that GStreamer can't
handle (like Composer).

If you have gst-plugins-good < 0.10.4 and a track that has a Composer
tag, what will happen is that if you edit the tags with RB, the Composer
tag will disappear.
