Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

Currently, org-mobile-create-index-file populates the #+TAGS: line based on 
org-tag-alist-for-agenda. This is inconvenient and confusing, for these reasons:

1. A new user of MobileOrg has to learn the hard way that the tags don't come 
over without the user having to take the extra step of populating 
org-tag-alist-for-agenda.

2. Every time the user tags a node with a new identifier, she has to update 
org-tag-alist-for-agenda by hand.

3. At least in MobileOrg for android, editing a tagged node ends up corrupting 
the tags (because the tag list has the wrong items in it).

A reasonable solution is to include the result of 
(org-global-tags-completion-table) in the tag list. A customization variable 
could be added so that the user could decide to use only 
org-tag-alist-for-agenda (current behavior) if desired.

I checked many times (customize-apropos) for options related to tags, but there 
is nothing to handle this and nothing in org-mobile-create-index-file to handle 
it either. So there is nothing in my .emacs that could help the issue, no need 
to include it.

release_7.8.11.dirty: It's "dirty" only because I modified org-mobile.el as a 
proof of concept, to see if org-global-tags-completion-table would get the 
results I expected. It does.
