Ubuntu 22.04 using mp3fs V1.1.1

When I convert a whole album with multiple flac files, the album artist is converted with an error in most of the cases:

As you can see: Album Artist on first track is "David Bowie", but on all other tracks of the album it is "David BowieDavid Bowie".
Album Artist on vorbis tag is consistently "David Bowie" in all tracks of this album.

I notice that the input flac file is structured like this:

test@pr-de-inc:~/_BACKUP/Audio/flac/David Bowie/1967 David Bowie$ metaflac --list --block-type=VORBIS_COMMENT 01\ Uncle\ Arthur.flac

So, my guess is that mp3fs concatenates...
comment[2]: ALBUMARTIST=David Bowie
...with...
comment[14]: ALBUM ARTIST=David Bowie
...resulting in a double entry in the id3 tag for album artist.

This seems to be the only difference I see between track 01 and track 02.

My suggestion would be that if both entries exist, "'ALBUM ARTIST'" and "'ALBUMARTIST'",...
"'ALBUMARTIST'" takes precedence and "'ALBUM ARTIST'" is ignored.
