In #darcs yesterday, idnar of #slipgate noticed that converting a
repository from darcs-1 to darcs-2 format resulted in the latest tag
being turned into not-a-tag.  Doing "darcs optimize --reorder" before
converting fixed this problem.

Therefore, I think suggesting --reorder be used before converting is a
good idea.

Hmm, how do we know this isn't a bug?

AFAIK, it's a known deficiency in "darcs convert" that tags are only
preserved if the repo is ordered in the common, expected way.  That
is, the original problem of tags being lost is a wishlist bug for
"darcs convert".

Ah, http://bugs.darcs.net/issue585 sounds relevant, though I still
haven't found the wishlist bug yet.
