I think you misunderstood something.
Either all ways composing the boundary polygon and additionally the 
polygons created by the multipolygon code contain ALL tags (boundary=... 
admin-level=... name=...). But the polygons created by the mp code are 
additionally tagged with mkgmap:mp_boundary=yes.

I don't mind how the tag handling should be. Maybe the style guys tells 
us what they like most. Nearly everything should be possible.
