Not all of them, I don't think - just the one directly adjacent to the
"new tag" input field.

I actually had the same experience as Nolan yesterday..I typed in a new
tag name on the edit screen, hit the 'save' button, and the tag text I'd
just typed wasn't there.  I went to the edit screen again, and saw that
there's a checkbox next to that "new tag" input field, and realized I'd
neglected to enter the text AND hit the checkbox.

A third solution might be, if the user types something into that input
field, automatically select the checkbox?
