It's quite feasible -- not particularly reasonable.

In a nutshell this would be easy to implement using TagLib by just subclassing 
TagLib::File and telling it where to find the ID3v1 tag (see the findID3v1() 
function in MPEG::File).  You could probably hack something to this effect up 
with 50 lines of code or so; there's no reason this would need to be in 
TagLib itself.

On the other hand it doesn't make sense to support this in TagLib directly 
since it's rather non-standard behavior.
