This seems to work for me using ViewCVS HEAD.  I just did a quickie test:

    add two files, foo (1.1) and bar (1.1)
    make a change to foo (1.2)
    tag em both ("my~tag")
    make changes to both foo (1.3) and bar (1.2)
    grab a tag tarball:
      http://localhost/viewcvs/cvs/test.tar.gz?only_with_tag=my%7Etag&view=tar
    as expected, it contains foo (1.2) and bar (1.1)
    now grab a non-tag tarball:
      http://localhost/viewcvs/cvs/test.tar.gz?view=tar
    as expected, it contains foo (1.3) and bar (1.2)
