I did a bit of reading, and I think I figured it out. Please correct me
if I'm wrong:

 - Tags are stored in the .hgtags file
 - Since I specified --config ui.merge=internal:other, the .hgtags
   file from my converted svn repository was overwritten by the one in
   the initial import of the hg rep.
 - I can fix this by manually adding the contents of .hgtags in the
   converted svn rep to the "current" hg rep.

   
Best,
