ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Maik Qualmann 2022-02-07 20:01:05 UTC 
This is indeed by design, Lazy Synchronization has limitations and exceptions. Moving and merging of tags also bypasses Lazy Synchronization. Why? If the scanner were to rescan an item that contained a deleted, moved, or similar tag, the tag would reappear.
