Well, if this particular way of tagging things is generally supported by data consumers, then I would consider it a documentation error instead of a tagging error.
But if it’s not used by data consumers in this form (while the same information on a relation is), and clearly the people creating these tags intended them to be usable, then I would consider a tagging error. So, yeah, I would say that “tagging error” IS in a part defined by data consumers. The “correct” way of tagging something is in the end defined by a somewhat nebulous consensus between the way people tag and the way data consumers interpret that data.

"tagging error" is not defined by whatever something is used by data consumers or not In Poland I see some route=emergency_access that seems to be OK (though there may be a better way to tag this and type=route in this case is pointless).
