About this problem, please file a bug report to Exiv2 bugzilla. It's very
important for the future.

It's purely a bug in Exiv2 implementation, and this must be fixed for next
0.18 release (currently in beta). Andreas wait users feedbacks to
consolidate the new TIFF writter component used to write metadata on TIFF/EP
files (thi sone is used to write in RAW files based on tiff like NEF, PAF,
or DNG)

Thanks in advance

Gilles
