adding face-are without adding person-name as tag

[Marcel Wiesweg]

In digikam's database, indeed the assignment of the tag "Peter" is 
prerequisite to storing a face region for Peter at all. It's more like 
assigning the tag is the fundamental action, and the region is metadata for 
this particular image-tag assignment.

If I understand you correctly your problem is that the tag is written to the 
normal tags and you would like not to write person tags into the normal tag 
metadata? I dont think it's implemented.
