So, cvs tag -rTAG1 TAG2 does indeed create an alias tag called TAG2 that
points at TAG1 itself (instead of at the revision that TAG1 currently points
at)?!
How then would I (in a single command) create a simple tag called TAG2 that
points at the same revision as TAG1 does?
Why does tag -A have to be for branches only?

So far I always thought tag -r and rtag -r did exactly the same thing, only
using different target notation (i.e. modules vs. sandbox contents).

I've still got the feeling that you missed to tell about some syntax options
that go beyond the above quotes. Could you maybe draft a sample session to
illuminate the issue?

Cheers,
