Comment:

 Let's leave this here, then.  The tricky bit about a code change is that
 Buildbot doesn't know if it's looking at a tag or a branch, so it doesn't
 know when to add a "refs/tags/" prefix.  If someone can come up with a way
 to figure that out, then we'll merge a patch.  Otherwise, folks running
 into this problem will find this bug and use the workaround.
