Argh, finally someone discovered that this "Tag All" feature was buggy! I’m 
really sorry about that, it mainly comes that I don’t use it. I’ll try to fix 
it tomorrow. 
Note that it’s not trivial since I have to take a decision about preserving or 
not the tags yet attached to a font.

I experienced that once & then did not use this anymore /o\

Here I would bet that you try to tag system fonts & these fonts are not part 
of the DB, I’ll have to make it more clear.

The only known(by me!)  way to delete a tag is to make it completely unused 
and not even part of a tag collection.

Hehe, bear in mind that Fontmatrix is _so_ young yet and there is much to ask 
for than what’s in it :) Here is how I work, and at least it works here - 
http://www.fontmatrix.net/tmp/fm_tagging.ogv
What’s not shown is that I tag fonts at import time of course.
But if you want it to work another way, and it does not involve a truckload of 
work (though if it’s really a great idea, I’ll do it anyway :)) or prevent me 
to do it as I want, I’ll write it!
