I have never heard tag being described as headless... A tag is just a
pointer on some commit (annotated tag contains additional information
such as creater, data, message), in any case, it has no direct relation
to any branch.

Tags do not store any precedes or follows information, no matter how you
created them, but visualization tools can look at the tree and display
what was before some commit and what was after it. Without seeing your
tree, it is impossible to tell whether gitk (or what you use?) displayed
that correctly or not.
