They will get the most recent not the version that existed at the time
of tag creation. That behaviour (actually the lack of any option to
allow for such a copy to be made) is a gripe of mine. It's a
limitation/feature (depending on who you ask) of Subversion, not
Tortoise.

Google for svncopy.pl. It is a Perl script that works with Subversion
and is intended to do what I think you are trying to accomplish.
