Hmm. Maybe clock skew in the commit timestamps is at fault? With this
patch to git:
diff --git a/builtin/name-rev.c b/builtin/name-rev.c
index 06a38ac..7a024ab 100644
--- a/builtin/name-rev.c
+++ b/builtin/name-rev.c
@@ -29,9 +29,6 @@ static void name_rev(struct commit *commit,
 	if (!commit->object.parsed)
 		parse_commit(commit);
 
-	if (commit->date < cutoff)
-		return;
-
 	if (deref) {
 		char *new_name = xmalloc(strlen(tip_name)+3);
 		strcpy(new_name, tip_name);
I get:

  $ $ git name-rev a1de02dccf906faba2ee2d99cac56799bda3b96a
  a1de02dccf906faba2ee2d99cac56799bda3b96a tags/v2.6.34-rc1~199^2~35

but I haven't tracked down the problematic commit and timestamp yet.
Still looking, but definitely some kind of skew problem. Reverting the
patch above and doing this also works:
diff --git a/builtin/name-rev.c b/builtin/name-rev.c
