Foobar v.9 applies RG values to ID3v2 tags in UTF16, not ISO-8859, and currently there isn't a setting anywhere to change this. I asked the rockbox developers whether rockbox can read tags with UTF16 in them and they said "Yes".
If you have used earlier versions of foobar or tag applications which have written to your tags in ISO-8859, and now use foobar v.9 it means that you will have a mix of UTF16 and ISO 8859 code in your tags, this isn't an issue as long as your applications and hardware are happy with this.
To maintain consistent tags I always use foobar v.8 to apply RG to my music, that way I am certain that my tags are ISO-8859, and am certain that rockbox will read them, no doubts. I like consistent tags.
Also ensure with foobar v.9 that you write to the correct tags, it must be to ID3 v2 or V1 (V2 is the preferred tag anytime) for rockbox to be able to read them. rockbox doesn't recognise ape tags.
sorry for the late response, almost a year, ah well guess better late than never
