Afair, the FhG VBR .mp3 files are also free bit rate - at least they're
all broken in a way that they get displayed with random lengths in
players, depending on the size of the first frame. It's not only LAME
with the --freeformat that creates them. Maybe a warning to the user
might be nice, instead of simply ignoring these frames... literate
people will know what's going on and it'll save them some grief.
