I have had write-back enabled in the past - but not now. I disabled it a 
couple of weeks ago (and removed all tag-information from my photos) in 
an attempt to get rid of the tag-problem.

I will send you some debug info in a pm.

One note, though, while re-compiling Shotwell (in an attempt to find 
time to debug Shotwell myself) I realised, that I have been switching 
back and forth between Shotwell versions. I have been running Shotwell 
from master (v 0.27, I think) for a while. Then when I upgraded my 
Ubuntu system, Shotwell got downgraded to v 0.26.3. And now I just 
upgraded to master (v 0.27.92).

Would this be a cause of my troubles? If so...
  a) stupid me.
  b) Perhaps shotwell could check the database version and refuse to 
work on it if it detects a downgrade.
