Hi
I have had the same problem a couple of times. I searched "everywhere" to
find a solution, but found none.
My experience is that this error occurs when the file is binary and the tag
contains consecutive zeroes (which is the case for you too I see).
The error is not consistent - your may have a lot of tags that works fine,
and then out of the blue you get a tag that wont work.
I am running an older cvs version (1.10.8) and planning to upgrade, so I'm
not happy to hear that this error is still "in there".
My "solution" is to avoid double-zeroes in tags, so if a tag has to contain
a date I would make it something like: T16-x8-2xx2.
Haven't had the problem since.

I'm running into a situation where after I tag a set of files and then do
an update using this tag
I run into problems where cvs indicates my files are no longer in the
repository.
I haven't been able to pin it down, but it seems that two zeroes (00) in a
row in the tag name
causes this to happen more often than not. Searching the net (this mailing
list and news archives)
i've found a couple references to what seems to be the same problem but no
solutions.
I did a quick test that I hope illustrates the problem. Check out the last
part where cvs status
reports a Sticky Tag with a missing 0.
