Interesting case. The problem is actually that upload-pack complains:

And that sha1 is the tagged blob:

So it seems like upload-pack is at fault for not marking the object as a
tip when it peels the tag.

That's because it doesn't actually issue a "want" for the peeled blob
(it doesn't need to, because it's fetching the tag itself). So it
happens to work, but I still think upload-pack is at fault for not
accepting the "want" on the blob it advertised.
Doubly interesting, it looks like this case _used_ to work, but was
broken by 5f0fc64513 (fetch-pack: eliminate spurious error messages,
2012-09-09). Which only changed the fetch-pack side. It moved the
handling of --all so that it was no longer in the "else" for
check_refname_format(). I guess the original code was rejecting those
peeled bits as "not a ref" (which makes sense).
So that seems like a bug in fetch-pack. But I'm still not convinced that
upload-pack doesn't also have a bug.

I had to switch this "echo -e" to:
printf "100644 blob $blob_sha1\tfile\n"
since "-e" is a bash-ism (and my /bin/sh is dash).
