Cogito: cg-tag creates a tag object only if -s is specified
cg-tag only creates a tag object if -s (sign) is specified. This not only doesn't work properly with a fair number of tools (e.g. gitk), but it also means that any description the user has entered via the -d option is silently discarded!
Please create a tag object for all tags, even if it is not signed.

Yes, makes sense. In the past it seemed like a nice idea to only create it when we have to, but it has way too many downsides and if you still have a plausible reason not to want the tag objects, you're special enough to fallback to the lowlevel tools.
cg-tag now always creates tag objects.
Thanks for the feedback,
