Why not? You can match tags with a leading period with the regexp
Code:
^\.
It isn't clear what you want to do with these tags so I can't go beyond the search pattern.

Depending on how many there are of these you might find it faster to change them in "Manage tags" (right click on Tags in the tag browser)
