oh, apparently "Raoul/Christine" is *not* the same thing as "Raoul de Chagny/Christine Daaé" for search purposes. I thought they were supposed to get 'wrangled' into equivalence :-(
It depends a bit on how you're interacting with the tag, because they're trying to make a balance between linking together tags that mean the same thing and letting people use the tags they want to use. You managed to find one of the places where the gaps show: if you'd searched for the canonical tag, "Raoul de Chagny/Christine Daaé", it would have included all the variations, but searching for a specific variant tag only shows you results for that specific variant -- because, of course, there's an assumption that the autocomplete will have suggested the canonical search to you and you must have chosen to search for the specific variant instead...
(Clicking on a tag, when it appears in the metadata of a work, will always give you the canonical/all variants search result, regardless of which version of the tag you clicked on.)
There are 579 works tagged with some version of "Raoul de Chagny/Christine Daaé", of which around half are also tagged with some version of "Christine Daaé/Erik | Phantom of the Opera". This search result is the half that aren't (but does still include some proportion of works that have Erik as the focus and Raoul/Christine just background).
