I configured mp3tag to remove all kind of tags (ID3v1, ID3v2, APE) for both MPEG and MPC, APE, ... file types.
Now I came across a FLAC file that had FLAC tags (VORBIS) as well as both ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags. When I tried to delete all of them, mp3tag only removed the FLAC tags (displayed no tags present with Alt-T) but leaving both ID3 tags in place. Same thing happens with mp3tag being configured to remove ID3 tags only.
Is there a work-around (other than using Case's tag.exe --remove) to remove ID3 tags from FLAC files?

Nope, ID3v1 and ID3v2 are simply not supported for FLAC files.
No bug.
