No.  They are used when the agenda is created, and they are stored in  
a text property on the entry.  If you press "T", you should see all  
the tags of an entry.  I just tested it, and it works fine, including  
filtering, which acts on the text-property tags, not only on the  
displayed tags.

Maybe you have turned off tag inheritance?  Because file tags are  
*inherited* by all entries in the buffer.
