Yes, I regularly use 'r'.  It works for me.  Refiling a single entry did
not show a problem.

I quickly applied a tag filter using '/' 'tab'.  Only the relevant
entries were shown.  Some block agendas become empty as expected.
Clearing the filter restores the expected full view.

I am not entirely sure that the patch does not have problems though.

Matt: could you give the patch a quick test at your end?

* Well, the best thing to do would be to remove the limitations of the
  block agendas, obviously :-), which I hope this patch does.

* The second best thing is to document them.

I am aware of this tag filter limitation, but no others from the top of
my head.  Do others know more?
