`cvs tag' is defined to tag the BASE revisions of the files in the
working directory and this is exactly the behavior you are describing.
I can see why you _might_ want to have cvs tag skip the removed files,
but this functionality extension cannot extend to modified and added
files since the revision to be tagged for a modified file wouldn't exist
in the repository and the entire archive file probably won't even exist
in the repository for added files, much less the revision to be tagged.
Therefore, I would argue that this sort of behavior is simply too much
to expect from CVS.
The work-around, and a pretty straight-forward one I should think, is to
commit your changes before tagging.
