Image tag gone after merging persons

Hello Travis,
I noticed that after merging two persons into one, that when the person is tagged in an image, the tag is gone after the merging process if the person id that's tagged is the one deleted. It's clear why it happens, but maybe there's a way to fix it.

Since we don't have any kind of automatic merging tool this would indeed be happening. When our moderators "merge" profiles, there is no tool or anything—they are doing almost of this work by hand. If and when we ever have a proper merging tool, this would be something we can definitely accommodate but until then, everyone just has to be aware of this. There could be some tags that go missing from time to time.

Perfectly clear, I expected this answer. It's just so you know for when a merging tool is ever developed.
