In reply to:

Your description of the problem indicates that the troublesome files did, in fact, have V2 tags in them somewhere. If they hadn't, they would have worked OK. What software did you use to check whether or not they had V2 tags?

I used the following tools to check whether the files contain id3v2-tag or not:
MpTagger v.1.6
DrTag v.1.6
id3v2 Tag Editor beta 4
