Nope. "org-tag-alist" is empty in my installation, and I didn't find
any code that populates it automatically. Tags are still empty.

Unfortunately, as far as I can see, (org-global-tags-completion-table)
is the only function that will generate the tag list from multiple
agenda files. Per your comment on my bug report, I tried
(org-get-buffer-tags) but, as I would have expected from the name, it
acquires the tags only from the active buffer when C-c C-x RET p is
called.

I have:

Agenda file 1: { set, of, tags, from, file, 1 }
Agenda file 2: { another, group, of, tags }

If file 1 is the active buffer, then the tags written into the index
are only "set, of, tags, from, file, 1." "Another" and "group" are
omitted.

I would rather wait a little longer and have a correct result, than
save time and have the feature not work.

Or have a configuration variable so the user can decide how to
generate the tag list. If the global tag completion table function is
too slow for some, they could manually populate org-tag-alist or...?
