I don't have a solution either, but wanted to point out that there
is nothing "old" about the ARCHIVE tag -- it serves a different
purpose than the ARCHIVE property.

The ARCHIVE tag leaves a heading where it is, but locks the tree
from visibility cycling and hides it from sparse trees and agendas.

The ARCHIVE property is alternative for "#+ARCHIVE" which is a
file-specific way of setting org-archive-location.
