Ah. I don't have much classical[1] music, so I tend to not have such problems with my tags.

Though picard isn't an "auto tagger" (anymore at least) since it won't write tags without an explicit Ctrl-S to save the (selected) files. Newer picard versions show a diff of the tags in the bottom where you can manually fix things (it's not a full tag editor, so adding new tags isn't possible with it AFAICT), so detecting "picard did it wrong" should be fairly easy with it.

[1]I would expect that simiar issues arise with things such as opera (as you point out), theater, broadway, national anthems, and so on. I guess "performance" pieces is a better name for this type of thing?

id3v2 does specify fields for composer, lyricist, original release year, etc.., but many of these are ignored or silently discarded (!) by taggers/players. Ogg comments are just unsuitable for this level of detail, because there's little agreement on what fields can be expected to exist beyond a very basic, limited set.
