http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-and-replace/ plugin is
good, but I don't think that it supports regular expressions, does it?
Otherwise how I can do a healthy substitution of the tag in question?

I just can't believe that I'm first one to encounter this problem.
Someone should have hit this wall before. Many times.
