I don't know if it's a bug, but it's definitely lack of a feature: 
unlike, say, Git, the Hg backend doesn't define its own mode-line-string 
handler, so the mode line displays what vc-default-mode-line-string 
returns, and it uses the current revision without any tags.

Do we really want to display the current tag in the mode-line? Do we 
want to see the word "tip" in there?
