Looks like the Wikipedia article's caveat applies. Apparently mediainfo can find the metadata where Kid3 stashed it in your file(s) but the MPD plugin can't.
Here's the MPD output while playing the .wav file I used as an example above (this time a test player with hostname moode3a):
Both mediainfo and MPD found the metadata for this file.
I expect there are open-source RIFF file analyzers which could ferret out the difference in metadata location between my file and yours, but I don't have any.
In my case, I just rip everything to FLAC format, where the "L" stands for lossless. This file format has a well-defined location for metadata, stored as a VORBIS comment.
