Well, the response to my question was a bit underwhelming, so I decided 
to experiment a bit further.  First, I nuked the tags previously 
created,

  cvs -d :ext:zlaski@gcc.gnu.org:/cvs/gcc rtag -F -d 
objc-improvements-branchpoint gcc
  cvs -d :ext:zlaski@gcc.gnu.org:/cvs/gcc rtag -F -d 
objc-improvements-branch gcc

and then created them anew, this time with 'rtag' instead of 'tag':

  cvs -d :ext:zlaski@gcc.gnu.org:/cvs/gcc rtag 
objc-improvements-branchpoint gcc
  cvs -d :ext:zlaski@gcc.gnu.org:/cvs/gcc rtag -b -r 
objc-improvements-branchpoint objc-improvements-branch gcc

Since the libstdc++-v3/scripts directory seems to have made it in this 
time, I think that will suffice for me.  There are still diffs (see 
below), but the pertinent directories appear to be empty in HEAD 
anyway, so I'll assume they've all been deprecated (if not, then we 
have other problems).

From my brief experiment, I therefore conclude that:
  (1) 'cvs tag' appears to be broken, although that may be due to the 
fact that ...
  (2) 'cvs checkout' is broken, i.e., sometimes it omits certain 
directories when doing a fresh checkout of a tree.  At least one other 
engineer at Apple (Devang) has reported seeing this.  This is while 
talking to the FSF server from a RedHat Linux 8 box, and so precludes 
the possibility of Darwin-bashing. :-(
