Thanks!
Okay, I've got it. Only some of the warning tags are showing up. All AO3 fics have at least one warning tag of the six possible ones. Only four are actually showing up, and they're the least common ones of my downloads, so I had a lot of examples of AO3 warning tags not showing, and few with. On top of that, warnings don't create tags by default (which I didn't check - my mistake), but I manually put them in when it's a fic I downloaded from the website as opposed to FFDL, so when trying to find out if there were past fics that worked, I only found the ones that either I'd tagged manually, or the author had freeform tagged, which got lost in the ones I'd done.
So, one example of each:
Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings,

No Archive Warnings Apply,

Graphic Depictions Of Violence,

Major Character Death,

Rape/Non-Con,
http://archiveofourown.org/works/779878
Underage,

"No Archive Warnings Apply", and "Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings" aren't printing, the rest are.
If the other tags aren't printing because AO3 doesn't provide them, then that's that. If not, I'd point out that one use of "Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings" is to indicate that any of the other warnings may apply, but the author doesn't want you to know in advance for suspense, and that if the reader doesn't want to risk it, not to read it. "No Archive Warnings Apply" is usually the author's stated judgement that none of the positive warnings apply, though it can actually be selected in conjunction with other warnings when they apply to different aspects or parts of the fic (occasionally an author will designate which applies to a given chapter in notes) - there are some use cases in the comments to a couple tagging posts. They are neither equivalent, nor null information, and I would like to collect it if I can, please.
Um. Is linking to fic on this board with a few of those tags problematic? I can of course delete them.
