Huh, this is actually more complicated than I thought. I don't set
`org-tag-alist' or `org-tag-persistent-alist', I simply define the tags
by use in my Org files. That allows the
`org-global-tags-completion-table' function to find all my tags, but
apparently that function doesn't consult the user-defined alists.

Let me ask on the Org mailing list if there's a canonical way of doing
this.
