A second pass on the output from the first pass results in a file with a single Author header, which is blank. So this actually deleted one, nulled the other.

So then you have to make a third pass with --exthtype and with --exthdata to restore the proper Author.

This was annoying. I will fix this buggy behaviour. I have just added a flag to add an author so I can test deleting authors...
