It's entirely possible you're the only one concerned about this issue. 
It may be that whoever wrote the code for tags didn't even consider it.

The reason is that it would make most sense for a tag to be short, so 
that there is less typing and less room for error when putting tags into 
a text file.

I have no objection to someone testing 
\averylongtagindicatingsomecomplexconcept, but if it doesn't work, I 
don't think it will be a hot item on the bug list.
