I don't think this is really worth the hassle in this specific case (and
I believe at this point I would have to re-apply all the filters from
scratch again to keep the tags as well...).
Also, gnome-utils has the same unrelated tags issue of gdk-pixbuf, so
they would need to be manually selected anyway (unless we also want to
keep things tags like DROOLING_MACAQUE and
PANTING_CHIMPANZEE...seriously, I feel like I'm missing all the fun! :P)

I'd say if somebody is really interested in obtaining that information,
it can be done from the original gnome-utils repository, which won't be
deleted anyway.

Cheers,
