This is a serious issue. I also rebuilt my database a few times from the tags
saved in the images, and may have lost tags this way.

I can confirm the loss of tags when adding tags to multiple images, as
described in the original bug report.

I also tested adding a new tag to a single image with an existing tag, and the
existing tag was preserved.

I checked for the actual tags in the image file(s) with "exiv2 -pi [image]" and
"exiv2 -px".

Currently I'm using digiKam 1.2.0 in Debian Squeeze (the release candidate for
the next stable Debian release) and digiKam 1.7.0 on Mac OS X. They share one
database for tags and ratings (only sharing the thumbnail database was not
possible, but that does not matter). I'd like to continue using 1.x digiKam
releases for some time (at least until Ubuntu 11.04 is out), and it would be
great if someone could also apply the fix to this bug to Debian and Ubuntu
distributions that will still be used for years!
