FQL solution

There are 2 possible reasons for the issue I can think of, without access to the actual data:

First reason: You need to add permissions. Specifically:

friends_photo_video_tags
user_photo_video_tags

You may also need permissions for the objects that are tagged inside posts. The “read stream” permission grants access to a wall post’s tags but it is not clear from the documentation if it grants access to the tags of the object a post holds as a field, e.g. the tags in a photo in a post.

The following objects can have tags, in addition to the Post object:

Checkins. Permissions needed:

user_checkins
friends_checkins

Photo. Permissions needed:

user_photos
friends_photos

Video. Permissions needed

user_videos
friends_videos

Second reason: You are experiencing a bug/inconsistency in the stream_tag table. There are inconsistencies with this table reported in the Facebook developer pages, based on tests run by developers. These include:

• For two status updates from the same user with tagged users, the stream_tag table returns tagging information correctly for one update but returns no information for the second.

• The stream_tag table doesn’t include tags from notes and link comments.

Here is a FBDevWiki summary of reported issues with the stream_tag table, under the heading “Notes/Bugs/Gotchas”.

Graph API solution

If adding the above permissions don’t help with the FQL query, you can instead call the Graph API ‘tagged’ connection like so:

https://graph.facebook.com/USER_ID/tagged

which returns tags in posts, photos and videos for the user.
