If I'm not mistaken -- and I've watched this happen tens of thousands of times while deduping my libraries, with tag fields involved -- when merging two titles in the library, the result contains the union of the tags.
That is, if TitleA has tag1, tag2, tag3, and TitleB has tag2, tag3, tag4, then after the merge I'm left with TitleA with title and author and cover of the original TitleA[1] and tag1, tag2, tag3, tag4.
[1] unless null -- if author is Unknown or there is no cover in TitleA, but TitleB has author or cover, the resulting TitleA will pick them up from the TitleB entry.
IOW, if merge still has the same behavior but different access, we're all good.
