The above fix resolves the problem wherein WordPress is configured with permalinks whose first component is alphanumeric (e.g. /%category%/%postname%/). In these cases, WordPress' internal rewriter intercepts the URL and tries to interpret "tag" (e.g. http://site/tag/name) as a category, and throws a 404 unless there happens to exist the post "name" in the "tag" category. Other workarounds may include somehow prioritizing UTW, or $use_verbose_rules, but I don't like the lengthy .htaccess that it creates.

I feel very backward not knowing about it! It might be an idea to create something similar for the MS .NET Framework if it hasn't already been done. All your talk of tags has made me think about seeing if I can get something similar running on my site. I’m going to have to look into all this wordpress hocus pocus at some point.
