This is a Mercurial design issue (personally, is the only thing I really
hate about it).

Tags are "archived" as a later revisions.  Therefore, if you only clone
until the tag, the tag itself is not propagated as the revision that
stores the tag in .hgtags is AFTER the revision referenced by the tag.

I hope I didn't mess the explanation up.
