For the matching portion itself the following should work:

(org-map-entries (lambda () (org-element-property :raw-value
(org-element-at-point))) (format "-%s" (mapconcat 'identity
org-export-exclude-tags "-")))

Rather than try and search for the tag afterwards, create a string that
will match all non-exporting tags and have them excluded from the match
itself (by default this will be "-noexport" but if you add "test" it will
become "-noexport-test").  It also gives you the exact raw value of the
element.  Using just 'org-element-at-point would give you the entire
element, allowing you to display the :raw-value in your output but also
have the associated :begin to jump to, removing the need to search for the
headline again later on.
