If you tell filter-branch to filter a branch A and a tag T, as the 
command is advertised to rewrite positive refs that were given from the 
command line, isn't it natural to expect that the command would attempt 
its best effort to rewrite such a tag object?

The thing is: signed tags cannot be rewritten.

I know that, and you know I know that if you read what you responded again
;-)

And I think stripping of gpg signature part is a reasonable best effort
for the command, _when_ the user told a signed tag to be rewritten.
