Unless there's something special about the tag name that's fooling CVS I've no idea how that could happpen. Tags are just lines in the RCS file (which is mostly plain text - you should be able to read it in a text editor). How one tag could be treated differently is anybody's guess. I'll have to see if anybody else has had anything like this, as there may be an obscure bug lurking.
