There is no such situation.

There is a situation where misguided usage of arguments to **clone**
will cause tags to be missing. Compare:

# do a normal clone, followed by a normal checkout of TAG
$ hg clone
$ hg update TAG

# do a normal clone, followed by a normal checkout of TAG, shorthand
$ hg clone -u TAG 

# do a partial clone, skipping revisions after the specified revision,
# including the tag data itself, often for repair purposes, check out
# tagged revision as a side-effect
$ hg clone -r TAG
