I clear the tags in the edit metadata screen, if the import/add of the book has a tag set. Doing things this way should only change those books that I used the edit metadata screen on or added without editing things.
I took a look at some of the books that I didn't add and have a modify date of today, and I know I haven't touched them at all.

You are not understanding how the database works;
(Behind the scenes) A Tag name is assigned a number: eg
Science Fiction = 42
Your adding/update a SINGLE book to include the tag
science fiction <<note the case
Calibre says: I have a 'science fiction' <of any case
and assigns tag 42 to the book
THEN (and I don't agree with this, but Kovid does)
It
fixes the words for tag 42
This triggers the Modified timestamp (this is correct, because the Case of the Tag in the jacket is no longer current)
What tags (names) do these books have in common? Somwhere your work
changed the Case of this word
from what existed in the DB
This is not a which on is
correct discussion. It is
Has been Changed
