I can't reproduce here. What is your exact request-pull invocation?
This question was not answerd. Did you ask request-pull to ask for
a branch to be pulled, or did you ask it to ask for the tag to be
pulled?
If the former, I would have say it is a pebcak. Linus asked you to
ask a signed tag to be pulled, and you want to have the tag to be
pulled, but if you do not give "git request-pull" the tag but a
branch that the tag points at, the command does not have a good
reason to countermand your (apparent) wish that the branch is what
is to be pulled.

Is request-pull showing a warning like:
warn: You locally have sound-3.6 but it does not (yet)
warn: appear to be at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git
warn: Do you want to push it there, perhaps?
Hm, it looks like the check is performed only for tag objects.
In the example below, no warning appears:
% git tag mytest for-next
% git request-pull mytest~ git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git mytest
With an annotated or a signed tag, git seems giving a warning like
above, indeed. So my test seemed wrong. Sorry for the noise.
OK.
