It also might not be too hard to smoothly animate a sliding tab, maybe just a day or two of work.

After talking with Priscilla, I thought I might try something to enhance the 'sliding tab' metaphor.

Perhaps we could show a little bit of the tab in the 'unchecked/unoverlayed' state and then have the tab slide out on mouseover, more clearly obscuring/covering the tag icon, as opposed to replacing it.

The slight protuberance might be enough to provoke users to try mousing over it such that we can limit the mouseover hotspot to just the collection icon area, rather than spreading it out across the entire collection row.

Please put this animated gif in a browser to see what the interaction might be like.
