Same as Ofnuts, the tags work, more-or-less.
This a vanilla Gimp 2.8.22 in Win7, added 2 standard .gbr brushes
Tagged one of them as 'artistic' screenshot http://i.imgur.com/gONl02W.jpg
It does filter http://i.imgur.com/sazftnn.jpg

Edit Hang on, just got another look at that, it has tagged the preceding brush. Put this on hold and I will check it again.
Even in linux I am getting some inconsistent results, have to leave it for now. At the moment the only reliable way is editing the tags.xml file.
I must be doing something wrong somewhere.
The sure-fire way is back to basics.
Make sub-folders under brushes for your categories, put the appropriate brushes in those folders. The folder name shows up as the tag

-------
My advice, go into your gimp profile, delete the file tags.xml, start Gimp up to make a new default file.
Try adding your tags again.
If you are using a resources manager, such as ofnuts plugin, do not expect tags to be persistent.
Windoze has such great tools
but if you get an editor such as notepad++ you can inspect and edit that tags.xml file screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/pfSTBjO.jpg
