Yeah. I checked the manual, and we have SPC being "any tag at all" since
the very beginning of the git history:

  #+findex: org-agenda-filter-by-tag
  Filter the agenda view with respect to a tag.  You are prompted for
  a tag selection letter; {{{kbd(SPC)}}} means any tag at all.

Upon seeing the manual, I am inclined to keep the current behaviour,
unless we have other voices supporting the change.
