I expect there are some files in the directory where Version_2_2 is
*not* a branch tag.  Directories themselves don't have tag information
(other than the default tag in the CVS/Tag file).  In the case where
you try to add a file to a directory and the state of the tag is
ambiguous it plays it safe (correctly, IMO).
