The weird thing is that metadata for the individual FIDs still seems to work. I remember this was based on specific sectors (or was it blocks...) based on the FID number.

That's only true for so-called "dynamic" metadata (play count, time last played, track profile). If your dynamic data is working for FIDs above 0x7000 I'll be impressed, not to say worried. Fortunately dynamic data failures are benign, unless you're a big user of shuffle modes that depend on play-count or time-last-played.
