Your issue seems different from Thomas' one. In your case:
$ git cat-file -t refs/tags/linux-1.3.0
commit
So the tag you mentioned is a _lightweight_ tag. These are not
considered by git-describe by default.
To make git-describe work, just do:
$ git describe --tags $(cat .git/refs/tags/linux-1.3.0)
linux-1.3.0
