I'm afraid I don't know the answer here.

Intended behavior. You did not specify a revision number in your diff
command, therefore you are getting the HEAD revision, which is
currently 1661. In revision 1661, your tags do indeed look the way
Subversion has shown. The fact that a particular tag was last changed
at a different prior revision is a different question, and can be
asked in a different way (for example, "svn info url://to/your/tag"
and examine the "Last Changed Revision" line).
