TB when changing a track's year

$ beet mod "xxxx" year=1998
Modifying 1 items.
* xxxx
  year: 2006 -> 1998
Really modify and write tags (Y/n)? 
Traceback (most recent call last):

    elems.append( ('%0' + str(field_lengths[i]) + 'i') % item )
TypeError: %d format: a number is required, not unicode

But the change was done in the file tags (checked with id3tool) and I guess in 
the DB too since beet ls -f '$year' "xxxx" print the new date

Thanks. I've pushed a fix for this in hg changeset e953b05d00e0. Let me know if 
the problem still exists in the latest source.
