What if you change:
-----------
rule decorate-target-name ( name : type ? : property-set )
{
  return [ common.format-name
          <base> <property:target-os> <property:address-model>
          : $(name) : $(type) : $(property-set) ] ;
}
-----------

 - to -

-----------
rule decorate-target-name ( name : type ? : property-set )
{
  return [ common.format-name
          <base> <toolset> <target-os> <address-model>
          : $(name) : $(type) : $(property-set) ] ;
}
------------

I think it should be fine to put the <tag> requirement in the exe target 
declaration. However, note my other post concerning the need for explicit 
usage of target-os and address-model. I included the "toolset" property just 
to make sure that the tagging takes some kind of effect.
