Nothing, this is correct.
The tag was created at 3514, and continues to exist upto 'now' (ie 3524 in
your case). So you get the tag as it is now, which should be the same as when
it was created at 3514.
Remember the repository number changes with *each* change in the repository.
The last 10 changes were probably somewehere else (eg in the trunk or in other
tags or branches).
You should be able to check that nothing has changed with a command like
svn diff file:///htc/svn/ignitionweb_base/tags/RELEASE_3_3_9_BUILD_2_at_3514 \
file:///htc/svn/ignitionweb_base/tags/RELEASE_3_3_9_BUILD_2_at_3524
(although I am not an expert at peg revisions, so this may be incorrect)
