One potential problem I can see is that over time, the tag cloud, which I do use, may become overrun by the humorous tags. Both "annoying thread" and "worst thread ever" are there already.

i really don't see the problem.
Not that it's bad, may forums have this and do just well, but it's a pity since most of the forum is quite grown up.
Useful tag is already buried under all-too-common tags, like "N900", then the typos, then the too-specific, etc. reducing the tag cloud from 100 to 20, most in very small script.
I do, however, see a solution to this half automated (no tags get in the cloud under 5 threads) and part manual (mods can ban tags that get through, like "worst thread ever").
And by "ban" I mean "don't show up in cloud".
A(n) UI that suggest tags when adding would also help with tags in general so "PR1.2" and "PR 1.2" wouldn't fight.

We should have welcomed you sooner!Welcome to Pre-School Talk; where we teach you your A, B, C's - and to whine and moan every time you don't get your way!!!
You'll understand what I mean once you get a chance to read some of the message boards around here.. these kids - their on this new "tagging" kick.. it's a GREAT way to express yourself!!!!!
(for the record I voted humor tags OK but with a percentage.. as it's really the only one that also implies by nature that there is a limit to the amount of tags per post.)
