Confirmed.
In `org-agenda-filter-by-tag',
((or (eq char ?\s)
(setq a (rassoc char alist))
(and tag (setq a (cons tag nil))))
(org-agenda-filter-show-all-tag)
(setq tag (car a))
(setq org-agenda-tag-filter
(cons (concat (if exclude "-" "+") tag)
(if accumulate current nil)))
(org-agenda-filter-apply org-agenda-tag-filter 'tag expand))
"\ <space>" will call
(org-agenda-filter-make-matcher '("+") 'tag nil) ; => (and (or tags))
which matches entries with tags, not the entries without tags.
But <space> is actually not documented, so I am not sure if it is a bug.
I can see logic with <space> being "any tag" (it appears alongside other
tag shortcuts), and I can see logic with <space> being "no tag"
(consistent with `org-set-tags-command').
Changing the current behaviour will be a breaking change.
I am inclined to change the current behaviour and document it, unless
there are objections.
