I've had several MP3s that had APEv2 tags in them (some of the ones mentioned in my other bug report here), and I had APE checked for removal under the MP3 tag settings, but those APEv2 tags are still there. Only way I've been able to remove them is by cutting the tags and pasting them with the proper options checked there.

You would have to do some kind of manipulation that leads to rewriting the tags. Cut&paste is the easiest.
Just loading the files is not enough.
