Yes, this is the scenario. The _tedious_ workaround we use right now:

1. Go to category and add the problematic tag to the allowed list for this category.
2. Tag the post.
3. Remove the tag from allowed list again.
4. Repeat for other category.

The problem occurred after experimenting with setting the tag in the allowed list for a category in the first place and removing it again.
