Hmm seems like it's only tag search on albums that is broken. Tag search on
your user feed works fine:

http://photos.googleapis.com/data/feed/api/user/alastair.halliday?tag=nature&kind=photo

The problem with album tag search isn't specific to photos.googleapis.com,
but is also broken on picasaweb.google.com as well:

http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/alastair.halliday/album/RecentWork?tag=nature


I call your bluff on saying that no query parameters work from the list:

http://photos.googleapis.com/data/feed/api/user/alastair.halliday/album/RecentWork?imgmax=800&thumbsize=144&max-results=5&start-index=5&access=public&kind=photo

Cheers,
