The problem is that what you're looking for isn't really a tag at
all - it's part of a value. Looking at one of those nodes in the
database shows us that the tags field is:

  source=PGS(could be inacurately;moved according to town brige in Mandal and Åvik(/Åvig) harbor);created_by=almien_coastlines

now that should be two key value pairs:

  source=PGS(could be inacurately;moved according to town brige in Mandal and Åvik(/Åvig) harbor)
  created_by=almien_coastlines

but because we use semicolon as the separator the semicolon in the
middle of the first key's value is also being treated as a separator
and causing an additional key with no value to appear in the output
of the API and planet etc...
