The frequency tag is inserted at some point shortly after the
command-set is issued to the hardware.  There's no way for the various
bits and pieces to tell when the underlying (mostly analog) hardware has
converged to an "acceptable" steady-state operating mode.  PLL
synthesizers don't instantly switch from one frequency to another,
digital (and analog) filters have group delays, etc. 

The time to achieve steady-state can vary from hardware-type to
hardware-type, ambient temperature, size of the frequency step, etc.
