fb doesn't read proper FLACs

There's an album in FLAC format (split to tracks) that can be played through directshow FLAC codec even in WMP but foobar just can't read the files:
Code: [Select]
could not enumerate tracks (Unsupported format or corrupted file) on:
I:\Music\187 Lockdown\01_-_187_Lockdown_-_Gunman_(Original_Mix).flac
Opening track for playback: "I:\Music\187 Lockdown\01_-_187_Lockdown_-_Gunman_(Original_Mix).flac"
Unable to open item for playback (Unsupported format or corrupted file):
"I:\Music\187 Lockdown\01_-_187_Lockdown_-_Gunman_(Original_Mix).flac"
It's not only my case, all people who have downloaded the album reported that fb can't play it, although winamp and other players do.
Files do not seem corrupt:
Code: [Select]

What does the console say about the file?

First codebox.

UPD
People say that this problem is caused by some "cuesheet tag" that can be fixed with this utility. But my opinion is foobar should play such files regardless of such error, since other players and official FLAC decoder can do.

Fixer code:
Code: [Select]
for %%f in (*.flac) do metaflac.exe --remove-tag=cuesheet "%%f"
for %%f in (*.flac) do metaflac.exe --sort-padding "%%f"
for %%f in (*.flac) do metaflac.exe --dont-use-padding --remove --block-type=PADDING "%%f"

UPD 2
Indeed, after some testing I can tell that the error was caused by the cuesheet tag, since running only the first line from the codebox above fixes the file.

Some people say EAC can create non-standard-compliant cuesheets.
Full-quoting makes you scroll past the same junk over and over.

But there's always an option to ignore it in case of incompatibility and just play audio, right?
