Although I don't know which version or flavor of lame you are using...
Thinking about it, shouldn't tagging be disabled for streaming
recorded-on-the-fly audio? (-t parameter)

Lame 3.98 enforces that behavior, contrary to previous versions, it
throws an error instead of silentely not creating the ID3 tag [1].

Hope this helps...
I might be misunderstanding, but that's what quickly comes out after
few minutes of googling.
