[Flac] Duplicate Tag

If I run the metaflac command, "metaflac --show-all-tags path\filename".  There is a tag that is listed twice.  Only one of the tags has a value.  This seems to be the case for all of my flac files.  I ripped these with dBpoweramp and this tag was added/defined as a "custom" tag.

I can run the same command using exiftool, "exiftool --tag-all path\filename" and I only see the single tag, the one that has a value is the one listed.  If I look that this same file with MP3Tag "Extended Tags" I also only see it listed once, the one with the value.

Does anyone know why it might be listed twice using metaflac.  I thought metaflac would be the better tool since it is the "official" tool, at least I assume it is.  Exiftool will read flac files but will not write to them, so I wonder if I am getting a complete list from it.  And MP3Tag has me wondering, because of the name.  I dont care — OR WANT — mp3 tags.  I only want FLAC tags.

Can anyone shed some light on me.

Thanks
Dave
