Firstly, the tags are not populated by AJAX. They are saved when the post is
saved.

So you will need to add a hook somewhere to save the page tags.

There is some javascript that "enhances" the tag box. To add it, add the
following line to the 'admin_enqueue_scripts' action:

wp_enqueue_script('post');
