Ah OK. I don't know why I didn't find it earlier: So, untagged sources
raise an error when you have "untagged-source unrecognized" *and* when
your tagging  method is "explicit".  So an untagged source  will raise
only a  warning in "tagline"  mode, even if you  have "untagged-source
unrecognized" in your =tagging-methods.

But I sill  think the behaviour is confusing here. Why  is it an error
with "explicit" tagging, and only a warning with "tagline". 

So, the behaviour should be

* untagged-source unrecognized => error
* untagged-source <other>      => warning

and be independant of the tagging method. 

(unless again someone can give me a good rationale ...)
