It means the tagger field in the tag does not follow the correct form.
Specifically the testing in git-mktag (called by filter-branch) does:
* Check for correct form for name and email
* i.e. " <" followed by "> " on _this_ line
* No angle brackets within the name or email address fields.
* No spaces within the email address field.
What does 'git cat-file tag FINDUTILS-4_1-10' show you?

If there are only a few, then you can manually retag with a corrected
tagger field, and then run your script.
Of course, depending on the output of the cat-file call above, the
testing in git-mktag may need to be relaxed.
