This does not sound right to me.
This org file:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+select_tags: wanted
,#+exclude_tags: notwanted
,* headline :notwanted:
some text
,** subhead 1
,** subhead2 :wanted:
more text
#+END_SRC
should not have any thing to export.
In contrast:
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,#+select_tags: wanted
,#+exclude_tags: notwanted
,* headline :wanted:
some text
,** subhead 1
,** subhead2
:notwanted:
more text
#+END_SRC
will export headline and subhead1.
At least, that is what I see.
