Masstagger broken?

Masstagger included with Foobar 0.9.4.2 seems to be broken

If i bring in a file tagged with Musicbrainz Picard
Right click on selected file (or a group of files) -> Tagging -> Manage Scripts and choose the built in remove all values except for artist;title;album;tracknumber;genre;disc;date

not all tags are removed
Mp3tag v2.37a (from http://www.mp3tag.de/) detects UNIQUEFILEID and PERFORMERSORTORDER among others remaining

For example

after masstagger:

Look at this page
http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?ti...ID3_Tag_Mapping
It shows the ID3v2 frames that foobar supports.
UFID (UNIQUEFILEID) and TSOP (PERFORMERSORTORDER) are not on the list.
So foobar doesn't know these fields and cannot remove them because unknown frames are preserved.
Wouldn't be good if foobar deleted every frame that is not implemented.

I tried to do the same thing using an old foobar 2000 0.8.3 special installer i found, and that version can successfully remove the unwanted frames but also removed date which i wanted to keep.

Would there be a way to override this preference in the latest foobar and force it to remove a frame regardless of if it knows about it?
