I have discovered the same problem. I did some how to reproducing the bug.

1. On Windows XP SP2 with Firefox, create an account with username test29.
(http://del.icio.us/test29)
2. post google.com with tag a, yubnub.org with tag b, naver.com with tag c.
3. Visit http://del.icio.us/settings/test29/tags and frome there rename the
tag a to the two tags b and c. That means, choose 'a' from 'old tag' and
type 'b c'(without quotes) into 'one or more new tags' and click 'replace
tags'.
4. log out of the test29 account. 
5. activate the account by clicking the activation link in the confirmation
mail.
6. Go to _another_ PC with Windows XP SP2 with Firefox.
7. Visit http://del.icio.us/test29/, http://del.icio.us/test29/a,
http://del.icio.us/test29/b, http://del.icio.us/test29/c and see the pages.

When you visit the page http://del.icio.us/test29/, everything seems fine.
you'll see that google.com is tagged b and c. Also you see no problem when
you export all items.

When you visit the page http://del.icio.us/test29/a, you'll see something is
wrong. google.com appears there. While it is true that google.com was tagged
a, but google.com is now not tagged a.

When you visit the page http://del.icio.us/test29/b, the page shows only one
item , that is, yubnub. but there must be two items that are tagged b,
namely, google and yubnub. Interestingly, you can see the phrase "showing
both items". It's like the google item is there and invisible.

This bug does not occur when you change tags of items manually without the
'Rename Tags' service.

The step 6 of going to another PC is necessary so that the result is
independent of browser caching.

I don't know if the two PC must have Windows XP SP2 with Firefox, I didn't
test other OS.
