you could use the C or C++ API to add an APPLICATION metadata block for it (see http://flac.sourceforge.net/format.html#def_APPLICATION). if metaflac supported adding arbitrary APPLICATION blocks then you could do it that way with just a script. I can help out with more info if you're interested in doing it either one of those ways. the only roadblock would be if you are using some other apps/libraries not under your control that expect cover art to be in id3v2 tags.
