I'm okay with making tags and branches of seabios for bug fixes.  So
far qemu/kvm has just grabbed various builds of seabios - is it
worthwhile to branch off of the seabios-0.6.1 version - which would
mean qemu/kvm would pull in additional changes beyond the bug fix
above?

qemu 0.12 is based on 0.5.1-stable, appears to be an untagged commit
qemu 0.13 is based on 17d3e46511, doesn't appear to be a part of a branch or a tag?

git-wise, tags are more important than branches. You can always retrofit a branch to a tag (and you can always retrofit a tag to a commit hash). For the qemu git repositories, neither matter so much since the commit is recorded in git; but the distro people really like nice stable tags with lots of digits and dots in them.
