Setup

• OS: Gentoo Linux jaguarundi 4.8.5-gentoo #4 SMP Fri Nov 11 16:45:46 MST 2016 x86_64 AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six-Core Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

• Python version: default interpreter: Python 3.5.2 Beets installed with 2.7.12

• beets version: git as of 20170107 15:05 and doing a 'beets version' gives me: beets version 1.4.3 Python version 2.7.12 plugins: acousticbrainz, badfiles, bpd, chroma, convert, copyartifacts, duplicates, edit, embedart, fetchart, follow, fromfilename, ftintitle, fuzzy, hook, importadded, info, inline, lastgenre, lyrics, mbcollection, mbsubmit, mbsync, missing, mpdstats, play, random, replaygain, rewrite, the, thumbnails, types, web, zero

• Turning off plugins made problem go away (yes/no): yes removing absubmit plugin from config makes it go away

Thanks for the full details! Can you please give the most recent version a try?
