After looking at your reproducer, this is expected in 2.5.

tags applied to a dynamic include_* only apply to the dynamic include itself, and are not inherited by the tasks within.

See #35199 for more information.

Hello, sorry for writing here, but I don't know where to.

tags applied to a dynamic include_* only apply to the dynamic include itself, and are not inherited by the tasks within.

So this is what happens when I have a when or a loop with an include_tasks. But if I don't have anything like that, tasks still inherit the tags with include_tasks.
