So the copyTags does not add but replace all tags. But only if the other element has tags. This is weird. So I think replaceTags would be a better name and the other.tags==null case should be handled:
Originally it was used to copy tags from an existing element to a newly created one, so there wasn't really much of a problem. This is still mostly the case, except in the multipolygon code which is no doubt why you are bringing this up :) So yes, your changes appear fine to me as they will not affect the original cases. Also the comment about only being used in subclasses is wrong/out of date. ..Steve
