This is because tags are not properties on the instance objects. I do
agree that it's weird that you can only pick properties of the
underlying python object for the destination variable.
The list of those properties is available here:
http://docs.pythonboto.org/en/latest/ref/ec2.html#module-boto.ec2.instance
I think it could be improved if instance it waited until all the data
was gathered and then allowed you to pick anything that was a property
in the json hash instead.
