By the way, here is the method I use :
- modify what you want
- use the selection dialog, with one of the following filter strings  
depending on the case  :
   "modified"				Modified or new objects (ways ANDS nodes)
   "modified -source"		Modified unsourced object
   "id:0 ways"				New ways
    ...
- apply the tag
