Dear Jake,
When you try to search MP3 duplicates on your small one artist folder (on your third trial and fourth trial), it seems that the tag insides this folder is the cause as you can search and found MP3 duplicates when you take the MP3 setting off. As you selected some searching conditions for the MP3 such as Artist and Album, NoClone will search based on this criteria and search with similarity algorithm/true-byte-to-byte algorithm, if one the tag does not match (For example, the Artist are the same but in different album), NoClone will not consider it as duplicates. Please try to uncheck all the MP3 settings and do a new search with similarity algorithm/true-byte-to-byte algorithm.
