If MP3tag apparently does not delete tags then you should check which tags you let Mp3tag read, write and delete.  
The proper setting would be: read and delete all, write only V1 and V2.  
Esp. APE tags are a problem.  
If you have these in a file, get rid of them.

If this is not the case, check the file's integrity with mp3val and/or mp3diags.
