That sounds right, there's no differentiation between normal push and
tagging permissions; it's all pushes as far as Gitorious is concerned.
Unless you've turned on "deny force pushes" for the repository, which
would also prevent creation of tags. Yes, that's silly, and that'll be
fixed eventually, but for now there's bigger fish to catch (and it's a
checkbox, so you can turn of it temporarily).
