I think that this behaviour is on purpose: The tag will be identified (like all objects in git) by its contents. The rationale: the filename does not matter, since the tag _object_ is not identified by it. So, in case you lose your .git/refs/tags/ directory, you can still reconstruct the tags with "git-fsck-objects --full".
