This is because tags are not properties on the instance objects. I do agree that it's weird that you can only pick properties of the underlying python object for the destination variable. The list of those properties is available here: http://docs.pythonboto.org/en/latest/ref/ec2.html#module-boto.ec2.instance
I think it could be improved if instance it waited until all the data was gathered and then allowed you to pick anything that was a property in the json hash instead.
