The RFC does not require a specific form. Please check out 
<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-webdav-rfc2518bis-18.html#rfc.section.10.4>.

You are now using the Tagged-list variant, which should be completely 
equivalent to the No-tag-list variant, as long as the Request-URI and 
the thing you put into the tag refer to the same resource. So if this 
makes a difference with a WebDAV server, it may be a bug in that server 
(can you provide traces?).
