Hi Gilles,

I'm going to try digikam 2.4.0 the next days (have to install first). But for
now, some further investigations with digikam 2.3.0 (according to your post):

A) 
 1. assign tag A to picture01
 2. delete tag A in the left sidebar
 3. from menu: "Image" -> "Write Metadata to Image"
 => tag A still in picture01's XMP :(

 + an empty tag "" is written to picture01's XMP
 => from menu: "Image" -> "Reread Metadata from Image" shows a tag "My Tags" in
the pictures tool tip (bad thing, since this will be hard to remove from the
file's XMP again)

B)
 1. assign tag B to picture02
 2. delete tag B in the right sidebar
 => no difference to deleting from left sidebar

-----------------------------------------------------------
Workaround for deleting a tag:
 1. filter with tag in left sidebar
 2. select all images
 3. remove tag in right sidebar
 4. delete tag in left (right sidebar is disabled with no images selected)

Move/Rename can be done:
 1. create new tag
 2. filter with old tag in left sidebar
 3. select all images
 4. assign new tag
 5. remove old tag in right sidebar
 6. delete old tag

Since I don't have to delete/rename/move tags in the tag tree very often, I can
live with this workaround. But you have to be aware of this pitfall.
