Replacing `:italic t' by `:slant italic' does the trick!

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    (setq org-tag-faces
          '(("home" . (:slant italic :background "pale green"))
            ("work" . (:slant italic :background "#F9E816"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Just wanted to share the solution...

Best regards,
  Seb
