Why is there tape there to begin with? Are you sure it's tape?
Outside corners should have a metal angle bead that is nailed then
covered with mud.

Two possibilities: tape on corner beads are in common use and it
could be one of those--basically a metal corner bead with integral
tape that is mudded on to the outside corner, OR the taper could
have taped over the metal corner bead. This is often done to prevent
prevent cracking on transition between sheetrock and metal corner
bead.
I think you should just let the painters fix it.



If tape is pulling from the walls, then it needs to be cut out and re
taped--I've never had success trying to stick down tape that has
pulled up. A good painter should be able to handle this.
