Well... At the moment a simple restart of shotwell will result in it 
happening. If I order (some or all) the mislocated tags, they will 
return to their wrong state shortly after start-up (I presume while 
Shotwell is scanning for changes on the files or...?)

Right. Sorry. I am using Darktable along with Shotwell, so I forgot.

I can send you a copy once I get proper internet again.

What is photo.db.bak? I think I sometimes have manually overwritten that 
with a backup when I had made manual changes to the database.

Have not touched the tags table, though :-p

Close. It may be related. He talks about the error happening when he is 
moving tags around. I can actually move all tags in place to my liking - 
except the return to their corrupt state after a Shotwell-restart.
