This is a real bug.  I spent some time reviewing the changelogs for
CVS, and it appears to have been fixed in 1.10.3:

1998-10-11  Jim Kingdon

        * commit.c (checkaddfile, commit_fileproc): A numeric value for
        'tag' does not mean that we are adding on a branch.

I verified that the current potato package (1.10.4) does not exhibit
this behavior.
