I think I've worked this out ... it is expected behaviour. In my projects 
(which are all git repositories) I am using projectile and it automatically 
detects and visits the TAGS for a project that it recognises. Projectile does 
not, however, recognise my ~/.emacs.d directory as a project and hence does not 
load the tags file.
