How about, for the last two:
  LT_TAG_SETVAR -- set a tag variable
  LT_TAG_GETVAR -- get the value of a tag variable

Seems a bit more descriptive.

And, why the need to move to a public namespace? Isn't only LT_INIT
and such in the public namespace? Is adding a tag something that
should be in the public namespace? Seems internal to libtool to me.
