IIRC, when you download the metadata for a single book, it will overwrite the existing tags, the idea being that you have a chance to review and correct the downloaded tags, but when you do a bulk download it will merge rather than overwrite.

I would suggest you adjust your workflow. Download metadata before doing manual tagging.
