Oops!? Please accept my apologies, the Linux example must be from a broken
repository. When I re'checkout'ed repository the new checkout works fine.
Also, of course, both the above lines work in bash & Emacs tags fine.

However, in WinNT I get this with a newly created dummy repository.
(Pardon the Halloween humor, the sandbox directory is 'coffin')...

$ cvs -f -z6 tag bashtag000 .
cvs.exe tag: nothing known about coffin
cvs.exe [tag aborted]: correct the above errors first!

$ cvs -f -z6 tag bashtag001
cvs.exe tag: Tagging .
T corpse
T treasure

$ cvs -f status -v corpse

...I wonder if PCL-CVS dropped the '.' in the tag command if that 
would work?  Is there an easy way to try?...
