The tags help box (shown when editing tags) says tags can contain +, but when I type a tag like "lost+found", it tries to use two tags, "lost" and "found".

Tags can contain plus, but only at the ends, e.g.

In general you should avoid this.

    Any chance the help box could be more wordy to explain this exception for plus? Thanks.

    lost+found is as natural to unix sysadmins as c++ is to programmers. lost-found looks wrong, but it's at least comprehensible; I'd find lost-and-found less grating, but it wouldn't turn up in searches the way lost-found would.
