I asked,

and Josh himself answered,

That's why I couldn't find it; I didn't think of trying metaflac instead of
flac.exe itself. Thank you.
Josh added,

Hmm. Thank you for pointing that out. If ever someone compared a FLAC file's
stored fingerprint to a direct MD5 of the full WAV file, then, they would
differ.
