Default tags always generate a diff

[fitz-vivodyne]

What happened?

I added a couple default tags as enabled by https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws-native/pull/1369. Unfortunately, these default tags generate a diff on every preview/apply as it apparently expects the tags to be ordered.

Example

https://github.com/fitz-vivodyne/pulumi-native-tagging-issue.

Every time you run pulumi preview you get a diff due to tag ordering

Pulumi locates its logs in /var/folders/cq/yr41qnrs4rg9363y3yp4f1f40000gn/T/ by default

Additional context

If you disable default tags and tag an item manually it works fine, only fails if default tags are set at the provider level.

That sounds very unfortunate, thanks for bringing it to our attention! Will have a look as time permits.
