Hello.  Sorry for the late feedback.  Since Nicolas' answer I have
been trying to get acquainted with getting Org from git. I made some
progress, but am not sure I am there yet.  So there is the initial
issue and there is the git issue, hence the probably
poorly-ordered/poorly-thought points which follow.

* Since 9.1.13 appeared, I have updated to it:

(Fedora 23) Emacs : GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+
Version 3.18.9) of 2016-04-11 on buildvm-25.phx2.fedoraproject.org
Package: Org mode version 9.1.13 (9.1.13-elpa @
/home/cochard/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20180507/)

and the problem remains.

* I have been able to test on another machine:

(Fedora 26) Emacs : GNU Emacs 25.3.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+
Version 3.22.19) of 2017-09-12 Package: Org mode version 9.1.13
(9.1.13-elpa @ /root/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20180507/)

and the problem is /not/ there.

* In all cases above I used command 'emacs' with a void .emacs,
setting variables org-agenda-files and
org-complete-tags-always-offer-all-agenda-tags using 'M-x
eval-expression'.

* You ask "Can you try with a bare emacs -Q and report against maint
or master branch?"

Sorry, your question is not explicit enough for me (one or two
questions?).  For sure, with emacs -Q, it gives:

Emacs : GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
3.18.9) of 2016-04-11 on buildvm-25.phx2.fedoraproject.org Package:
Org-mode version 8.2.10 (release_8.2.10 @
/usr/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/org/)

and the problem is there.

Did you mean 'emacs -Q' with some git branch?  If so, I don't know how
to do it...

* I have learned about master and maint at

https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/index.html

* I have tried to install a git repository.  For this I have tried to
follow

https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org4beginners.html

section "Running the latest version of Org mode"

It might be for beginners, but it was not easy for me, so I am not
sure I did it right.  [In particular I had to hide my .emacs.d
directory, and was not sure about (require 'org-install) vs (require
'org) vs no require at all, in the .emacs file.]

I got:

Emacs : GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
3.18.9) of 2016-04-11 on buildvm-25.phx2.fedoraproject.org Package:
Org mode version 9.1.13 (release_9.1.13-744-g13fb6a @
/home/cochard/Org/Coch-git/org-mode/lisp/)

Is that the master branch?

With this setup, the problem remains.

* About getting git:

In addition to section "Running the latest version of Org mode" at
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org4beginners.html, I also read
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#keeping-current-with-Org-mode-development,
as well as section "1.2 Installation" of the manual (v9.1.13),
subsection "Using Org's git repository".

Are those 3 sources are supposed to provide essentially the same
pieces of information?  If so maybe they could be
merged/updated/coordinated?
