tags make me crazy

[Frédéric Da Vitoria]

Hello Maik,

Thank you for looking into this.

Here are 8 examples. I did not touch anything in them since the problem 
occured except changing their file names, and I did so after copying 
them into a directory outside of dK's scope. So these should exactly 
what dK sees.

I included:
- 4 photos with the "piscine" tag, taken with 4 defferent cameras, each 
time the "piscine" is duplicated
- 2 photos with a "mésange bleue" tag, one where this itag is duplicated 
at the root level, one where there is only one copy of the tag; I did 
not do anything recently with those old photos so I don't have any idea 
why dK decided to duplicate those tags
- 2 photos with a "macaque à longue queue" tag, one where this itag is 
duplicated, one where there is only one copy of the tag; I did not do 
anything recently with those old photos so I don't have any idea why dK 
decided to duplicate those tags either; here, dK duplicated tag under 
"animal" instead of putting the duplicate in the root.

I noticed that the duplicated tags had character set issues (when there 
were non-standard characters, of course).

Note that the problem occurs when I select a group of photos and edit 
the tags by checking / unchecking the tags in the right pane. AFAICT, 
this does not happen when I merge tags using "Tags" in the left pane. I 
guess I should refrain from using the right pane to edit tags until this 
issue is solved.
