There isn't any officially supported way at the moment. Even if you
would manage to make FLAC::File::ID3v2() return NULL, it would not
delete the tag. The TagLib::FLAC::File class must be modified to
support this, as it has information about the original ID3v2 tag.
Something like this should be added at the right place in
TagLib::FLAC::File::save():

removeBlock(d->ID3v2Location, d->ID3v2OriginalSize);

I'll try to implement it for the next TagLib release.
