It turns out that the missing id3v2 tags can be written in latin1 (1
byte) characters when the locale is set to 'C', just by using the
--id3v2-latin1 switch.  I thought I'd already tried that, but I suspect
I may have missed off the '1' at the end of the switch.

The other character encoding switch, --id3v2-utf16, doesn't do anything
when the locale is "C"

I don't know enough about character encoding to sound knowledgable here,
but it seems the only way to get UTF16 characters into the id3v2 tag
fields (which I believe is the preferred format for id3v2), is to set
the locale to a UTF-8 variant.
