When turning on version history on a list that is using custom list forms the text entered in a multiple line textbox is not displayed. when the field is in Display mode. The text just seems to be lost in the database. But by examining the version history for the item you will see all the changes.
The solution is simple:
In order to display the history use another control type, use the <SharePoint:AppendOnlyHistory/> instead of <SharePoint:FormField/>
By using this control you will get a nice list of all the field versions.
And by combining the two you can get a field that displays the history, and at the same time give the possibilities to edit the text:

I need help with showing version history in a custom Display form. The default DispForm.aspx shows the history just fine.
The following in my custom display form comes out empty.
"< td width="400px" valign="top" class="ms-formbody">
</td >"
