This thread here shows the latest status of Mp3tag concerning this situation:  
[Strip ID3 tags, leave Vorbis tags on FLAC?](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/2419/6)

> A thread on this site (/t/2901/1 contradicts that warning. Florian states that Flac files cannot contain ID3 tags, and for that reason MP3Tag options for removing tags do not allow for deleting ID3 tags but not og Vorbis tags.

His answer expresses the official status.  
But it is true some programs do add ID3 tags to flac files( - in fact any file type could have an ID3 tag). But we'd like to stick to the official guidelines

You should also check your EAC settings [F11] and disable Add ID3 tag or any other optoins that add ID3 tags.
