Well, if Claude *really* wants to track when a tag is created, why not 
naming the tag after the date?
i.e.: bug_123_2002-MAR-04

...and, if you need to insure the tag is valid (the date-string is 
current date, for instance), you can test it at creation time too 
(taginfo file).

If you think this makes "ugly" tags, then you can use that taginfo 
called script to write to a file pairing the tag name to the creation 
date (problem is that taginfo runs before the tag is effectively applied 
so if the tag fails *after* that point, the file will have unconsistant 
info)
