It's been that way since AFAIK cvs 1.9 or something like that...

It's also done this forever... it's pretty rare that it actually happens 
(since it is modified automatically by tag and rtag).

Changing that behaviour is low priority as it's always worked like that 
- there isn't an easy way before the rewrite as it's builtin to the core 
code.
