What if you reduce the cover art size?

> AFAIK, there is a limit for the max. picture size for FLAC files. Try to reduce your cover art to - for example 500x500 pixels. Would it work then?

Could you provide a song that plays fine and the same song after you have added a cover to it with Mp3tag?

And just to be sure:  
Do you use the newest Mp3tag version (v3.24)?
