Ah. Agreed on the behavior. I missed your specific request and agree
this doesn't work.

Thinking about it more, using select_tags as a potential solution to
your export of a subtree without navigating to it, problems could
arise if more than one were tagged. If multiple same-level headlines
were tagged with the select_tag, which one should Org use as the
"master" for the document title/level structure?

It sounds like the C-u option did work for you, correct? If so, glad
you found a solution!
