Did you try this when using the FLAC command-line option --keep-foreign-metadata? I did not write the code for that option, but I did write a proposal for a method that would have allowed the header to be preserved for either WAV or AIFF. I'm not sure what was implemented, though, and I have not tested whether abnormal WAV headers are preserved. If --keep-foreign-metadata is not used, then nothing is preserved from the original WAV except the audio.
