For some reason, digiKam reads GPS Processing Method tag as Caption of the photo. Please see the attached screenshot. After manually clearing the caption some time, that "ASCII" text just reappears out of nowhere.

There is no relation between GPS Processing Method tags and Caption contents. digiKam never use GPS tags to populate caption entry in database.

This is certainly a side effect of Exiv2 library which cannot interpret the comment from Exif and do not push the data in RAW but a tag content format as ASCII.

I remember a similar old bug coming from Exiv2. Which version did you use exactly ? Look in Help/Components Info dialog for details.
