See post #165043. It has char:cherry, and the sidebar shows it to have 3 posts, but if you actually query it, it jumps to "cherries" which is completely unrelated. Very confusing.

That's a bad alias. It looks like the kind of thing that made sense at the time, but no one thought that "Cherry" might also be the name of a character. We probably want to get rid of that one for clarity.

It looks to me as if it was a manually added alias unless I just don't understand how those things work. In which case the bug is that someone didn't think things through all the way before they did it.

I think the issue is that all pre-existing tags should have been changed when that alias was added, and any tags added after it was added should have immediately been changed. In this case 'cherry' shouldn't be allowed to exist while the alias is in place.

Could it be an effect of the typed tags? "Character:Cherry" might look different to the software than "cherry" does.

The software, to my knowledge, cannot differentiate because a type becomes an integral element of the tag itself. If Cherry has been typed char:, then it is char: in all situations.
