By this, do you mean that `git log` shows the tag on the HEAD commit?
Or do you mean that this is the first tag that `git log` emits? Note
that `git log` walks complex graphs in a funny order by default; you'd
need `--topo-order` (and usually `--graph` too) to see what's really
going on.

That's normal if you have `--decorate` set to `auto` (many do: it used
to be sensible ages ago, and I still have that set in my own default git
config). Tags, in `git log` output,are decorations, and
`auto` means *if going to terminal*.
