Track play history being deleted in Musicbee when importing plays from last.fm

[EuroMIX]

I've been exploring how to keep the play count of songs played with both Musicbee and on my mobile device synced, and because most Android players don't support the tagging depth of Musicbee, I'm trying to use the "replace artist tag" option to make it so they'll scrobble the display artist consistently with how Musicbee does instead of only partially (which has been happening).

The problem is this is what happens:

1) I sync to add the song to my device.
2) I play the song and scrobble it to last.fm.
3) Last.fm updates its play count for that track.
4) I open Musicbee to let it update the play count from last.fm.
5) The play count either doesn't update, or my entire play history for that track gets deleted in Musicbee.

I'm not sure if I really expect a response given all the last.fm woes I've seen brought up here, of which many lack solutions, or even a single response, but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask.

I located the LastFmPlayCountCache.dat file on my system and this is what it has for the recent track I've been testing this with:
