vc-retrieve-tag is already updating buffers by calling
(vc-resynch-buffer dir t t t)

Maybe this commits are related:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=5828f6cacc5
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=5f4f2ae4f96

IMO there are nothing more those backends can do with buffers so
`update` argument is mean nothing to them.

Don't know about cvs backend though.
