I ran the same test on an Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS 64-bit Macbook, and the
same commands now work as expected, i.e. the --id3v3-only flag results
in a v2 tag that contains my text and is correctly read by the id3v2
utility.


Code:
--------------------
    chris@chris-MacBook:~/Documents$ lame *--id3v2-only --ta lameartist* 
test.MP3 testout.MP3
  LAME 3.100 64bits (http://lame.sf.net)
  Using polyphase lowpass filter, transition band: 16538 Hz - 17071 Hz

  chris@chris-MacBook:~/Documents$ id3v2 -l testout.MP3
  id3v2 tag info for testout.MP3:
  TSSE (Software/Hardware and settings used for encoding): LAME 64bits version 
3.100 (http://lame.sf.net)
  TPE1 (LEAD PERFORMER(S)/SOLOIST(S)): LAMEARTIST
  TLEN (Length): 229000
  testout.MP3: No ID3v1 tag
  
--------------------


So it looks like a quirk of the pCP lame utility that's causing these
blank tags to be written.  Could it be something to do with the build
configuration?

I also noticed that the transcoding task was much faster on the Macbook
than on my Pi4 (10 seconds versus 51 seconds).  That was a bit of a
surprise - I thought the 1.5GHz quad core Pi4 was closer to the 2.4GHz
Core 2 Duo 2008 Macbook than that factor of 5 suggests.  Could it be due
to the fact that the lame build on the Macbook is 64-bit, and on pCP it
is 32-bit?
