I would definitely consider that a serious potential issue, if for no other reason than so many communities will likely find a use for tags based on the nature of the community structure.
For example, I could see a ton of communities having tags for things like modposts, new member intros, meta topics, memes, questions, reviews, how-to's/tutorials, guides, etc. and that's just for broad post types that would apply to thousands of communities.
I think letting users manually make their own multi-lems, perhaps with the ability for communities to sort of team up to make uber-lems of closely related communities to help users discover more of them...but sub, unsub, multi, and un-multi as they see fit...is likely the best approach.
I'm not talking about communities having tags for posts, I'm suggesting communities could apply a hashtag to the community itself so that it would be easy to combine view of many communities with the same tag.
To use a Reddit example, imagine if r/gaming, r/games, and r/patientgamers all had "#videogames" applied to them. Then if you tried to view a multi based on which subreddits had #videogames, all three would show up in that multi.
