Looking at the file forwarded on by Andrew, the metadata is:

    id3v1 tag info for 4. In Course of Time.mp3:
    Title : In Course of Time Artist: Zanov
    Album : In Course Of Time Year: -1 , Genre: Ambient (26)
    Comment: 0 Track: 0
    4. In Course of Time.mp3: No ID3v2 tag

And -1 is certainly out of the range of what GStreamer's date type is expecting. Media scanner should be fixed to treat this as a missing date.

In the short term, you can correct this by updating the tags on your music: either remove the year tag or set it to a valid year in the range 0...9999
