So the right way to do it -- it seemed to work when I tried it, at least -- is metaflac --remove-all --dont-use-padding filename.flac ? I guess that these features make it more imperative than ever to watch the timestamps and not to validate a FLAC with an MD5 that is older than the FLAC is.

That's why I said "validate" rather than "test" or "certify." Besides, the internal fingerprint doesn't have a separate age from the file itself.
