cvs only really understands one tag at a time, so if there's a directory 
tag it basically overrides everything else.  I can have a go at patching 
around that but I can't guarantee what side effects it'll have on the 
rest of the system.

There are some comments in the code that imply that they considered 
disallowing multiple tags in a directory but decided not to... so it's 
not a new issue.  It looks like their workaround broke but I've no idea 
when.. probably before 2.0.58.
