That's the better behavior: Imagine someone else does a commit while you
have the branch/tag dialog open. You think you're tagging from HEAD
which you *know*, but since someone else did a commit HEAD is not what
you *know* anymore but only what you *think*.
So HEAD has changed without you knowing about it yet.
TSVN therefore helps you avoid such problems and offers you the revision
your working copy is on as the default to tag from. Because that's the
revision you think is HEAD (which is identical to HEAD if no one else
did a commit in between).
