It's not that Git doesn't cope with it, it's just something unexpected even for a svn user. I would never consider doing a 'svn up' after I do a 'svn co' on a tag. As a long time svn user I always understood a tag as a single point in time with no modifications after it has been created. So if I did a 'svn co' before you did the merge to that tag, then if I spoke of tag 0.9.26 (expecting it not to change) if would be different to your tag 0.9.26. Hence my concern about the odd usage of tags.
