I think this is a semantic argument. The problem isn't that we don't
understand how CVS behaves; it's that we find that behavior
undesirable, aka broken. If we really care about having a tag that
contains the exact files that are tagged in CVS, we can create a
branch from one of the commits involved, and then apply a commit to
that branch that places it in the state that matches the contents of
the CVS tag. AIUI, this is not very different from what you'd have to
do in Subversion, where a tag is a branch is a copy.
