I can only suggest to forget the TagLib::Tag interface and always use
the format-specific ones. I'd prefer to not touch TagLib::Tag methods
in version 1.x and completely remove them in version 2.

As with most frames, there should be only one TCON frame in a ID3v2
tag, but it can have multiple strings.
