I’ve found a workaround in the interim. If you add `'*:/tag:'` to the start it works. This also works with `'*:/tag:*'`

E.g.

```auto
system.alarm.queryStatus(source=["*:/tag:Winery/Tank Farms/White Sparkling*"],state=['ActiveUnacked'])

system.alarm.queryStatus(source=["*:/tag:*/White Sparkling*"],state=['ActiveUnacked'])

```
