I do not think you are being fair (to Subclipse) hear. This stuff comes up
on the Subversion users@ list on a daily basis. There are a lot of people
that do not like how Subversion does tagging. Even using the command line,
which is the ultimate in flexibility, people cannot easily get the results
they want. What can we realistically do? I think our support for the
feature is consistent with the design of the feature in Subversion. Unless
they make significant changes I do not see any solutions. If you want to
propose something realistic, that at least acknowledges what we have to
work with, I am willing to listen.

The fact that nothing shows in the Console tells me there must have been a
NPE or something. Did you check the error logs?

Be aware that Subversion implements tags by doing a "copy" in the virtual
file system. The semantics of the copy behave identically to the Unix cp
command. I point this out because the behavior changes based on whether
the target of the copy already exists or not. With Subversion, you
generally want the target to not exist so that the copy operation creates
it. If not, then the copy usually succeeds, but not in a manner that you
were expecting.

Copies will not fail for this. In most cases, you are doing the copy
purely within the repository. If you do perform the copy based on your WC,
Subversion will do a mixed-revision copy if necessary. Personally, I would
not do a copy from the WC, unless you first did an update at the root level
so that all items are at the same revision.
