This sounds related, if not the same as
- Bug 152199: Deleting tags can leave orphaned IPTC keywords inside files
  http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152199
- Bug 158713: deleted tag is not removed from IPTC keyword data
  http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158713
- Bug 159158: Tags moved in tree are duplicated in the IPTC metadata
  http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159158
Michael, could you check and (if necessary) add any comments there
(or file a new bug report)?

Gilles, the first two sound like a duplicate?
Morever, this should have higher priority IMO, because
this can lead to information loss/inconsistent data!

Michael: to make sure that wishes/bug reports etc. don't fall
through the cracks, we extensively use the bug-tracker
(which is slightly annoying to use). This allows to
keep the relevant discussion attached to the bug,
in contrast to e-mail conversations, where the pieces get lost.
It also allows to figure out duplicates more easily
and see connections with bugs.

Best, Arnd
