My repro steps:

1. (As admin) From a tag group with some tags, set `Tags are visible only to the following groups`\[1\] to something like `trust_level_0` from some other group the other user is not in
2. In the other user, watch these tags under their page (set notification status there to ‘Watching’)
3. (As admin) Revert the tag group visibility to what it once was, and create a topic with those tags
4. Go back to the other user; if you go to `?state=watching`, you will see that topic made (‘Watching’ status not removed)\[2\]

1. I’ll test the ‘visible to everyone’ shortly 

2. I didn’t get a notification when I tested it, but still saw in the list of topics watching because of the tags)
