That's expected.

You see: you most likely had the "HEAD revision in the repository" radio
button activated in the branch/tag dialog. When you do that, then the
branch is created directly on the repository from the HEAD revision.
But since a tag is supposed to not get modified, you won't run into any
problems, because since the creation of the tag and now (the HEAD
revision), there were not changes to the tag, and so the newly created
branch is exactly the same as if it were created from the last-committed
revision of the tag.
