This works for me. I added
#+FILETAGS: :Personal:
to the top of one of my org files, hit C-c C-c on the line to
reinitialize and then match tags with Personal as the target with
C-c a m Personal RET
and it lists all of the tasks in my org file including top-level tasks.
The tasks do now show :Personal: in the display but using T on any tasks
shows the tag is inherited.
I hit T on a task 4 levels deep and it includes the Personal tag.
It also works with
#+FILETAGS: Personal
