There is an issue tracker at http://bitbucket.org/lyro/evil

You're right, the current implementation of tag text objects is a
little buggy. Another problem is that "vitit" does currently not
include the tags (in vim, the second 'it' adds the tags to the current
selection, in evil nothing happens). I know some of those issue for
some time but and there should be some code in old vim-mode solving
them. But I was just too lazy to fix them and up to now nobody
complained ... ;)

I'll try to have a look on the tags in the next days, but right now I
do not have the time to work on evil, so please be patient.
