Propagation of tags with checkouts.

An example scenario

Each reviewer has a full checkout of MainLine.  When reviewing they do
the following:

    1. Update their checkout
    2. Merge from Developer branch
    3. Review content and, if accepted, commit.

QA has a lightweight checkout of MainLine.  When testing they do the following:

    1. Update their checkout (usually to a specified revision).
    2. Test the content and, if accepted, tag that revision.


The tags on MainLine made by QA do not seem to propagate to the
reviewer checkouts if they've already updated at or past that
revision.

If a reviewer uses 'pull' they get the tags but if they 'update' they
do not.  Shouldn't update transfer tags the same as pull?

Is this simply an unreasonable expectation given some lack of
understanding of mine regarding the Bazaar model?

NB: I also wonder why, for checkouts, does pull not accept the update
location as the default.
