I think I got to the bottom of this. The bit of the image that's changing is
the timestamp in the header (the tIME chunk). This makes sense as when I
retrieve the image and resize it, I suspect the library that does the
resizing it writing a new timestamp in there.

Apologies for the noise, I think blaming it on the FLAC++ library was a bit
premature. Sorry!
