On imap, sometimes there's a small delay because tags need to be written to server, after pressing tag keyboard shortcut once ensure to wait at least 1 second, if you press again too fast you'll remove the same tag. For testing, wait 2 or 3 seconds after pressing shortcut

No, waiting doesn't help.

OK, thanks -- the Nostalgy AddOn appears to be the culprit. I'll try to have this fixed; both functions (keywords *and* Nostalgy) are essential for me.

btw, we call them TAGS not keywords; there's a difference between the two in Firefox (where keywords are alias URLs which unfold their full power when using them for rapid searches in URL bar... try it! Right-click on any search field like the google search input, then add keyword like "g", then in URL bar type "g searchword" and bam! you're there; for maximum efficiency, Ctrl+L to go to location bar)
