If the argument is ever "the government could force X to do Y" then you need to finish your thinking.
If the government taxes mixed coins they will extend that tax to coins where it is impossible to detect. "Prove me they weren't mixed" is just as easy for the IRS to say as "prove to me that you bought at $500/BTC".
