Django-tagging weirdness (noob question)

Greetings (please forgive me - I'm well past my coffee
buzz)

I'm trying to implement the django-tagging app.  My
"links" app has a
tags field.
As a CharField, there's no problem. When I changed it to get
the
sexier ManyToManyField it got weird. The tags appear and
transfer
between fields (in admin view) and save in the link like
they should,
but they do not appear in the tagging "tagged
items" table - only in
the link (in admin view). I humbly beg for assistance. 
(yes, I'm a
noob... I know)

Here's a piece of the Link.model:
from tagging.models import Tag

class Link(models.Model):

    url = models.URLField(verify_exists=False)
    title = models.CharField(maxlength=512)
    tags = models.ManyToManyField(Tag,
filter_interface=models.HORIZONTAL)

    def save(self):
        super(Link, self).save()
        self.tags = self.tag_list

    def _get_tags(self):
        return Tag.objects.get_for_object(self)

    def _set_tags(self, tags):
        Tag.objects.update_tags(self, tag_list)

    tag_list = property(_get_tags, _set_tags)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.title

    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return self.url

This won't work; because of database-level requirements,
many-to-many
fields aren't updated by the admin (or any sort of
automatically-generated form) until *after* the object has
completely
saved, which means that when save() is running the
many-to-many
relation isn't yet updated.
