In this case your flac file seems to contain three different sets of
tags (Vorbis, ID3v2, ID3v1). There can be different/invalid information
stored in each of them. If one of the three genre tags is set to New
Wave then you know from which set Tag.exe reads the values to populate
the tags in the mp3 file. 
The resulting MP3 file only has a set of ID3v1 tags. If Tag.exe will
only copy tags to ID3v1 then I would look for some other tool. ID3v1 is
very limited in available tags, genres and tag size. I wouldn't use
ID3v1 at all unless you have an old player that only reads ID3v1.
As for the flac tagging: Generally speaking it is always quite
cumbersome to maintain different sets of tags in one file. Flac files
are usually only tagged with vorbis comments. Leave id3 to the mp3
files.

I hope this sheds some light..
