Thanks both.

So was this an intended usability change?  I can probably live with it -
I just need to retrain my fingers -- but it does take longer to achieve
the result I want now since I have to clear the agenda tags before
selecting a new filter and wait for the agenda update each time (my
agenda has lots of entries).

The old behaviour was faster to use.

I haven't done anything with hierarchical tags yet.
