Okay.  Thanks for this finding.

Fair enough.  I tried to implement the sentence "When after the headline
text, kill the tags" from the documentation for org-special-ctrl-k,
which I interpreted as kill _all_ tags.  Just to make clear my decision
for the patch.

AFAICS the kill of a folded (invisible) subtree is also performed
without having set org-special-ctrl-k.  So I'd rather say that there is
no need for pointing out that behavior in the documentation.

You are welcome.  That's fine with me.
