I remember studying this section of documentation and having to try
several things before understanding how these commands work. I
probably should have made a patch at the time... Probably a simpler 
example would be more helpful, perhaps something like:

melody = { c' \tag #'append { d' } \tag #'push <f'>2 }

{
  \melody
  \pushToTag #'push e'2 \melody
  \appendToTag #'append e'2 \melody
}

Perhaps I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that \pushToTag requires 
that the tagged expression is simultaneous music (enclosed within <>),
and that \appendToTag requires that the tagged expression is 
sequential music (enclosed within {}). Or, at least, if in the above 
example, melody is defined as:

melody = { c' \tag #'append d' \tag #'push f'2 }

then it doesn't work.
