bzr fast-export treatment of tags

To quote some documentation I just wrote for the new --no-tags option
for bzr fast-export:

    Since bzr uses per-branch tags and git/hg use per-repo tags, the
     way bzr fast-export presently emits tags (unconditional reset &
     new ref) may result in clashes when several different branches
     are imported into single git/hg repo.  If this occurs, use the
     bzr fast-export option --no-tags during the export of one or more
     branches to avoid the issue.


Would there be a better way to treat the export of tags in bzr
fast-export in order to soften--if not eliminate--the issue of tag
clashes as outlined above?  I'm not intimately acquainted with the
details of this one.
