Stripping the APEv2-tags from the file solved the issue for me.
Afterwards it was again possible to tag the files and the tags remained
unrewinded. I assume Rhythmbox used the remaining ID3-tags.

I used the following Python-script to strip the APEv2-tags. Save it to a
.py-file, make sure you have python-mutagen installed, make the file
executeable and give the files to change as commandline arguments.

YOUR OWN RISK AND WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

#! /usr/bin/python

import mutagen
import mutagen.mp3
import mutagen.apev2

import sys

for fn in sys.argv[1:]:
        f = mutagen.File(fn)
        f.load(fn, ID3=mutagen.apev2.APEv2)
        f.delete()
        f.save()

Rhythmbox gives priority to APEv2 tags and won't display changes to ID3v2 tags
