That's a problem solved by floating tags, not caused by them. Just
float your "current-2" tag to the "current-1" postition, "current-1" to
"current, and set a new "current" at the tested workspace version.

If you can float that tag, you always know that without tracking any
changing names or numbers.

You don't lose anything because the history exists apart from the tags.
  The tags just identify interesting sets of revisions so you can script
all the obvious things you are likely to want to do with them without
having to pick up variable revision identifiers at runtime.
