OK, I reproduced the issue with a different person -- for whom I have tons of 
pictures.  I had mistakenly entered the tag name with a trailing space, it 
seems.  I used the right-click menu "Properties" item to change the name; i.e. 
from "A " to "A".  The next detection showed pictures in "A ".  

I moved them all to "A", deleted "A ", rebuilt the training data.  And now 
pictures do show up correctly in "A".

So I believe that your workaround does indeed work.

As an aside, maybe it would be better to trim leading and trailing spaces for 
tag names?  At least, I can't think of a use case for such spaces...
