Some confusion seems to be creeping in, here.
Jan's problem, as I understand it, is with the
METADATA_BLOCK_VORBIS_COMMENT in
a Native FLAC file.  (No OggFLAC, Ogg being
the container, and no Vorbis, a lossy codec.)

METADATA_BLOCK_VORBIS_COMMENT is
defined at:
https://xiph.org/flac/format.html#metadata_block_vorbis_comment

and VorbisComments at:
http://www.xiph.org/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html

Note that a VorbisComment is defined as
being UTF-8, although metaflac  --no-utf8-convert
doesn't seem to be behaving as advertised.

Finally, Jan might have more luck taking his
problem with metatflac over to the flac-dev list.

Martin
