I think that you are encountering a bug:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695453

This works fine in git master, emitting an error to the log that the 
file contains no audio track. There were a couple of commits after the 
2.1.8 release that improved the error handling for MP4 files:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/easytag/commit/?id=f4c3b3fbacdaf6a4c32b2c39efa88c6fea6926b1
https://git.gnome.org/browse/easytag/commit/?id=b4ef8260a60d7a7642728cd01e58624b5343fef4

EaasyTAG 2.1.7 used libmpv42 for MP4 tags, whereas 2.1.8 and above (and 
2.1.7 on Debian and Ubuntu) uses TagLib. I have not tested the libmp4v2 
code in a while, but the TagLib code should be working fine.
