Ah, thanks, I did not note this conflict
But - is it a conflict?
An auto-tag <Esc>t would behave different than the ordinary <Esc>t. But it
would behave correct, wouldn't it?
Since I don't use $auto-tag, I'm not aware about the conflicts which one to
prefer: taking it as plain <Esc>t or auto-<Esc>t.
';<Esc>t' is a logical behavior, I feel.

I don't know this yet - it's a different approach. Apart from being yet
another option '~a', it's even more complicated to understand !~a for me. I
guess I just did not have any nead for the later one, while the first one
(extending tags of partially tagged threads) is a daily business to me.
