The question is, why do you expect it to work this way
in the first place? "\tweak [Grob.]property value music"
is just one syntax element. "\tweak [Grob.]property value"
does not have an existence on its own. Similarly, you
cannot do

someVariable = \tweak X-offset -3

even though you can do

someFunction = \tweak X-offset -3 \etc

It's common to define variables with tweaks like

myMarkup = \tweak X-offset -3 _\markup foo

What should this do then?

{ g-\tag score \myMarkup }

Bottom line: I think it's not an issue but perfectly
expected and desirable behavior.

Best,
