The word tag will always be there; the one letter tags are only for
compressing information in bug status output. For example:
#706902 [n|ⓐ| ] [bugs.debian.org] bugs.debian.org: Adding an a11y tag?
[You can also expand them by clicking on the information, or clicking
"toggle all extra information" at the bottom.]

They also all currently use <abbr title="foo">F</abbr>, so in theory, a
speech synthesis program could expand the abbreviation (and they show up
as tool tips).
If there's some better way of making these accessible (while maintaining
the goal of compressing the output), I'm happy to explore it.

I'm pretty sure that's a font artifact; the size isn't changed
specifically.
